Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
How client-centred and solution-focused work online
Leanne uses client-centred therapy, which means sessions begin with listening to what matters most to the individual and shaping the pace around their needs. This approach helps when people need a space to make sense of feelings such as anxiety, depression, grief or trauma.She also uses solution-focused therapy to break problems into manageable steps and to identify practical changes to try between sessions. That approach is useful for people who want clear, short-term goals like improving sleep, managing stress or building confidence.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through options and agree a way forward based on the person’s goals, preferences and day-to-day realities. This makes the process collaborative rather than prescriptive.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual contact helps. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or messaging suit brief check-ins, reflective writing or people who prefer typing to talking. Together these formats offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving and travel.
