Deborah Cockram, BACP

Approaches you can use online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the work. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what is said and helps people draw on their own strengths to solve problems. This approach is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.

Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that repeat over time and where they might come from. It helps uncover underlying feelings and relationship patterns that feed current difficulties, which can be useful for long-standing relationship issues or unresolved grief.

Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and goal oriented. It focuses on what is already working and on small, practical steps to build positive change, so it suits people wanting clear, achievable goals for stress, panic or practical life adjustments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Deborah will discuss options with clients and decide together which methods fit best with their goals and preferences. That collaborative choice helps shape sessions so they feel useful from the start.

Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls let the therapist and client read facial cues and have deeper conversations. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, shorter reflections and people who like to write their thoughts. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel, while keeping continuity across time zones.
