Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, empathetic relationship where the client’s experience guides the pace and direction of work. It is useful for building self-understanding, improving self-esteem and navigating personal change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress and practical coping skills. Psychodynamic Therapy explores how past experiences and relationships influence current feelings and behaviors, supporting deeper insight into recurring patterns and emotional responses.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Deborah Allan works collaboratively with each person to consider their needs, goals and preferences, adapting methods over time so the work feels relevant and effective. Clients are supported to try approaches and reflect on what helps most.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging can fit around work, family and other commitments and make it easier to maintain continuity of care. Working remotely with licensed professionals can make therapeutic support more accessible while preserving the same relational focus and clinical methods found in face-to-face therapy.
