How Aakansha uses approaches online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a collaborative relationship. The counsellor helps people talk through what matters and identify their own strengths, which can guide goal-setting in sessions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy involves spotting patterns of thought and behaviour that contribute to stress and anxiety. Sessions may include practical exercises and steps to try between meetings to change unhelpful habits.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy teaches skills for emotional regulation and managing strong feelings. It can help when impulsivity, anger or relationship difficulties get in the way of day-to-day functioning.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss options and tailor techniques to a person’s needs, goals and comfort. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed plan.
