Anna-Lena Dube, BACP

Approaches that guide online sessions

Anna-Lena uses person-centred methods which put the person's experience first, offering steady, empathetic listening and practical reflection. This approach helps when someone needs a safe space to talk and to regain clarity about their feelings and choices.

She also draws on solution-focused techniques that concentrate on small, achievable changes. These sessions often focus on concrete goals and simple steps to reduce stress or improve communication. When helpful, psychodynamic ideas are used to look at longer-standing patterns and where they might come from, supporting deeper understanding over time.

Choosing the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then together they will try ways of working that fit the person's needs. It is common to combine elements from different approaches as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different lifestyles. Video is good for a fuller conversational experience, phone calls can fit a short break or low bandwidth, and chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family life and travel while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
