How client-centred work adapts to online therapy

Sharon mainly uses a client-centred approach. This means sessions focus on the persons own goals and experiences, with the counsellor listening closely and helping people set practical steps. It can help with anxiety, anger, low self-esteem and life changes by building on existing strengths.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sharon will discuss goals and preferences together and adjust techniques to match what feels most useful. This collaborative process helps identify whether more reflective listening, goal-setting or practical coping strategies are needed.

Sharon provides therapy by video call and uses messaging only to carry out the assessment and arrange appointments. If you prefer to check which formats are offered at booking, please confirm current session options before you schedule. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow check-ins from different locations. They also let people meet without needing to be on site, which can help keep continuity when life is changing.
