How Rebecca uses online therapy and different approaches
Rebecca uses trauma-focused therapy to help people work through the impact of distressing events and the emotions they leave behind. This approach aims to reduce the hold of difficult memories and supports coping with triggers and flashbacks.She also works in a person-centred way, which means sessions follow what matters to the individual. That often involves reflective listening, helping people find their own solutions and creating space to make sense of feelings.
Mindfulness techniques are used to teach simple attention and grounding exercises. These can help with overwhelming feelings and make it easier to notice when thoughts or emotions escalate.
Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. Rebecca will discuss goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that suit the person's situation. She adjusts pace and focus as needs change over time.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face experience, phone calls are lower bandwidth, live chat can suit shorter check-ins and text messaging allows ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and mobility needs.
