Approaches and online therapy with Michaela
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and strengths, offering a supportive environment in which individuals can explore feelings and make choices that align with their values; it is particularly helpful for relationship concerns, self-esteem and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works with the connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, using practical strategies to address anxiety, depression, stress and unhelpful patterns. Hypnotherapy combines guided relaxation and focused attention to access deeper resources for change and can complement other work when addressing habits, stress responses or motivation.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Michaela works collaboratively with each person to identify methods that suit their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so that therapy remains relevant and effective for the issues being addressed.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and for how people prefer to communicate. These formats make it possible to maintain continuity of care while fitting sessions into work, family and daily life, and they allow therapists and clients to focus on progress and practical outcomes together.
