How therapy methods translate to online work
Rachael uses client-centred counselling, cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness in her practice. Client-centred work focuses on listening and building a warm therapeutic relationship so clients can set goals and feel heard. CBT looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and offers practical exercises to reduce anxiety and lift mood. Mindfulness teaches simple attention skills and breathing practices to help with stress and emotional reactivity.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods suit each person’s needs and preferences. That choice can change over time as goals evolve and people try different ways of working.
