How Christine’s approaches work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy puts the person at the heart of sessions by offering empathic listening and respect for each person’s pace. This approach helps people explore feelings and priorities and can be useful for anxiety, low self-worth and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and replacing them with more constructive patterns. It is practical and goal-oriented and often suits stress, panic, depression and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Christine will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean combining listening and reflection with practical CBT exercises and mindfulness practices over time.
If you prefer online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking as the profile does not list them specifically. Online counselling can make fitting therapy into a busy life easier by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and offering options that suit quieter surroundings or limited bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals are used to adapting exercises, homework and pacing so therapy still focuses on real-life change.
