Integrative approaches for effective online support
Sarah blends Client-Centred Therapy with evidence-informed methods to create a flexible online practice. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathy, acceptance, and listening, helping people feel understood as they explore identity, relationships, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and reshape unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and everyday stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, supporting people who struggle with intense emotions or unstable relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is treated as a collaborative conversation. Sarah will work with each person to match methods to their goals, needs, and preferences, adjusting strategies over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase accessibility and fit therapy into busy lives. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend appointments from familiar surroundings, and access consistent support despite geographic or scheduling constraints.
