How Carey-Sue uses proven approaches online
Carey-Sue uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people make sense of distressing experiences and reduce their ongoing impact. This approach looks at what happened and works on practical ways to reduce distressing reactions in daily life.She also uses a client-centred method that places the person’s perspective at the heart of sessions. That means conversations follow what matters most to the individual and build on their strengths. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is part of her offering too; it focuses on emotions and how they shape relationships and personal patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Carey-Sue will collaborate with each person to identify goals and try different methods to see what fits best. She checks progress regularly and adjusts plans to match changing needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexibility. Video calls let people use face-to-face conversation from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit people who prefer typing or brief, frequent contact between longer sessions.
