How these approaches work for online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and creating a supportive space where a person can talk through their feelings and gain self-understanding. It aims to help people feel heard and to build their own answers over time. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and uses straightforward techniques to change patterns that cause distress. Existential Therapy encourages reflection on meaning, choice and personal values, which can help when facing life transitions or questions of purpose.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about what they want to achieve and try different ways of working until a good fit is found. This is a collaborative process where the client's goals guide which methods are used.

Registered or accredited professionals can work with people across regions, and practical arrangements are agreed when setting up appointments.
