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

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person without judgement. It helps people clarify what really matters to them and build confidence in their own decisions. Narrative Therapy looks at the stories we tell about our lives and finds alternative ways to describe experiences so people feel less defined by problems. Existential Therapy helps people face big life questions and find meaning when life feels uncertain or overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process means approaches can change as needs and circumstances shift, and practical techniques can be added when acute stress or trauma responses arise.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people see facial expression and use visual materials when helpful, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit more easily into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging allow short check-ins, reflective writing and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care and to match the format to what suits someone day to day.
