How these approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. The counsellor listens deeply, reflects what is said and follows the client’s lead. This approach helps people feel heard and understood, and it can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and life changes.Solution-Focused Therapy aims for short-term, practical progress. It encourages small, achievable steps and looks for what is already working. This can be helpful for tackling specific problems like workplace stress or improving everyday coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nicola will work collaboratively to match the method to a person’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they will try an approach and adjust it if something else fits better.
