Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting a person to explore their feelings and values at their own pace. It helps people deepen self-awareness and address issues like low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It offers practical strategies and structured exercises to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and unhelpful coping patterns.

Psychodynamic Therapy explores recurring patterns and the influence of past relationships on present difficulties. It can be helpful for people wanting to understand deeper sources of emotional pain, attachment issues, or long-standing relational patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. A licensed professional will work with each person to identify which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine elements from different models to create a tailored plan.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different schedules and circumstances. These formats can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and fit sessions around work, family, or caregiving responsibilities while working with qualified therapists.
