Jodie Bament, BACP

Client-centred and Mindfulness approaches for online care

Jodie works from a client-centred perspective which means sessions focus on the person and their experience. The counsellor listens closely and follows the client's lead to build understanding and trust. This approach is useful for people who want a space to talk through feelings and make sense of what matters to them.

She also incorporates mindfulness therapy, offering simple practices to help notice thoughts, bodily sensations and emotions. Mindfulness can be helpful for stress, anxiety, low mood and for managing overwhelming moments in daily life. These practices are taught in straightforward ways that can fit into daily routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jodie will collaborate with each person to decide what feels most helpful based on their goals and preferences. The plan can change as progress is made and new needs appear.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions may suit quieter audio-only check-ins, and live chat or text messaging can be used for short check-ins or when typing works better. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress and comfort.
