How client-centred work fits with online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving the person space to talk and feel heard. It emphasises empathy, active listening and following the client’s pace. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, grief and issues around self-worth by making sure the client’s own concerns guide the sessions.Andrew also uses straightforward, human conversation to address problems such as addiction, attachment issues and life transitions. He aims to respond to what emerges in each session rather than imposing a fixed plan, which can help when people bring complex or overlapping concerns.
Finding the right way to work together is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and will adjust the approach based on what the client finds helpful. This collaborative planning helps ensure sessions stay relevant and manageable.
