How Christie’s approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience. The counsellor aims to offer empathic attention so people feel heard and can explore what matters to them. Mindfulness Therapy invites simple practices to notice thoughts and bodily sensations, which can help with anxiety, sleep and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy centres on small, doable steps and clear goals to change what isn’t working and build on strengths.Finding the right mix of these approaches is a collaborative process. The counsellor discusses what you want to change, what helps you now and what feels achievable. Together you decide which techniques to try and adapt them as you go.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit counselling around work, childcare and daily life. It also allows for shorter check-ins when that is helpful, or for using audio rather than video if that suits someone better. Registered or accredited professionals can shape sessions to match practical needs while keeping the focus on making steady progress.
