Ways of working Alex names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How these approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person’s experience. The counsellor reflects what is said, helps someone feel heard and supports them to find their own solutions to stress, grief or relationship concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviours keep problems going. In practical sessions people try new ways of thinking and small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety, improve sleep or change unhelpful habits.

Psychodynamic work pays attention to recurring patterns and early relationships that shape current feelings. It can help people understand why certain situations trigger strong reactions and how past experiences affect present choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate on what fits best for goals, preferences and everyday life. This makes it easier to adapt methods as progress is made.

Online sessions use video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so therapy can fit around work and family commitments. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone needs less bandwidth, chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or shorter sessions. These choices make it easier to stay consistent with therapy while managing a busy schedule.
