How Kathryn’s client-centred approach works online
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person's experience and priorities. The counsellor offers supportive listening, reflects what is said, and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach is often helpful for stress, anxiety, relationship strain and grief because it keeps the work grounded in what matters to the individual.Because the process is collaborative, finding the best approach happens together. The counsellor will check in about what feels useful and adapt the way sessions proceed to match your goals and preferences. You and the counsellor decide what to try and when to change direction.
If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats available before booking. The practical benefits of online sessions can include fitting therapy into a busy day, reducing travel time, and using shorter check-ins when time is limited. Online options may also make it easier to attend when mobility or health issues make travel difficult. Discussing these preferences early helps set up sessions that integrate with everyday life and personal routines.
