How Klara's approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person and their experience. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the client find their own direction; this is useful for grief, self-esteem and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. It uses practical exercises and simple techniques to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful thinking patterns.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches ways to notice thoughts and bodily feelings without getting swept up by them. It can be helpful for stress, chronic worry and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Klara will discuss different ways of working and agree on methods that fit the client's goals and preferences. She combines talking, teaching and practical tools so the work feels useful and relevant.
If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Confirming practical details helps you pick times that suit your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work or caring responsibilities, reduce travel time and allow shorter or more frequent check-ins when needed.
