How Fiona’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and priorities. The therapist listens carefully and follows what the client brings to sessions, helping them clarify goals and make choices that fit their life. This approach suits people who want a validating space to talk through difficult feelings.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build new coping habits, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention exercises to reduce rumination and increase calm in everyday moments.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Fiona will work with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals and preferences. She reviews progress and adapts the plan as therapy moves forward so clients stay involved in choices about their care.
Online therapy offers practical benefits such as flexibility and easier access. Video calls let people keep visual contact and use screen-shared exercises, phone sessions can be lower bandwidth and easier to fit into a break, and live chat or text messaging provides short check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to maintain continuity of care while juggling work, family or other commitments.
