Approaches and Online Support Tailored to You
Emma McGowan works from a blend of client-centered, cognitive behavioural and psychodynamic approaches to suit different needs. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration - it helps people feel heard and supports self-directed change. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and developing practical strategies to reduce anxiety, improve mood and manage stress. Psychodynamic therapy explores how past relationships and unconscious patterns influence present feelings and behaviour, which can be helpful for attachment, intimacy and family issues.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Emma works with each person to understand their goals, preferences and life circumstances, and she adjusts methods over time so the therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, family and other commitments. Sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, allowing continuity of care across locations and time zones and making it easier to access support when it is most needed.
