How client-centred and psychodynamic ideas work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the counsellor. It involves active listening, reflecting what you say, and helping you find your own solutions. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, self-esteem issues and relationship worries.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns and meanings that come from past experiences. It helps people notice repeating themes in relationships and everyday life so they can make different choices. This approach can support work on grief, trauma and longer-standing struggles.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Lewis will discuss what feels most useful and adjust the way he works as your needs and goals become clearer. This is a collaborative process where the client’s preferences help shape the sessions.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging lets you write between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and allow different ways to communicate depending on what a person finds most helpful.
