How client-centred and existential approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist. It means the counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is heard, and helps the person find their own solutions. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship questions and coping with life changes.Existential Therapy looks at life choices, meaning and responsibility. It helps people who feel stuck, who are questioning purpose, or who want clearer direction in difficult situations. Conversations often include values, freedom to choose, and how to live with uncertainty.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Stuart will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they will try different ways of working and adjust the focus as needed so therapy fits the individual's needs.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and more natural conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a quicker check-in. Chat and text are useful for shorter exchanges or for people who prefer not to use audio. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments and to keep continuity when life is busy.
