Online support
Client-centred therapy puts the person’s own priorities at the heart of each session. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace, supporting people to explore feelings and find their own solutions.
EMDR is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity. It is often chosen by people who have specific traumatic experiences they want to work through alongside other therapeutic spending.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Suzanne will discuss options and adapt methods to match a person’s goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the plan can change as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can fit into a busy day and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats make it easier to arrange regular sessions and to continue therapy from different locations.
