Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Vivienne draws on client-centered therapy to create a respectful, non-directive space where people can explore their feelings and priorities; this approach supports self-esteem, relationship work and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and reframe unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can be helpful for stress, anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers practical skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness, and can assist with strong emotions, anger and relationship challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Vivienne works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals and preferences. She and the client review progress and adjust interventions so the work stays relevant and practical.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it easier to attend sessions around work, caring responsibilities or shift patterns. These remote formats offer flexibility and wider access to licensed professionals and therapists, allowing people to maintain continuity of care and fit therapy into busy lives.
