How Inge’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the client’s pace to help them make sense of their feelings and decisions. This approach can be useful for issues like low self-esteem, relationship strain and identity questions.

Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple, present-focused practices to reduce reactivity and manage intrusive thoughts. These are practical exercises people can use between sessions to lower anxiety or ground themselves during difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then test methods collaboratively. That way the plan can change as needs evolve and the person learns what works best for them.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and shared visual cues. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Text and live chat work well for brief updates, written reflection or when someone prefers not to use audio or video. These options give flexibility to schedule therapy around work, caregiving or travel while keeping the focus on practical steps and consistent support.
