Kathryn Taylor, BACP

Approaches that guide online therapy

Kathryn often combines client-centred work with cognitive behavioural ideas to help people notice unhelpful thinking and try different responses. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and working at the client's pace, which helps when someone wants a steady, collaborative environment.

She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy techniques to help people name and understand strong feelings and change patterns in important relationships. Mindfulness exercises are brought in to build present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity during stressful times.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Kathryn will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't worked before, then agree on a plan together. That collaborative step helps tailor sessions to each person's needs and makes it easier to adjust methods as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit around busy schedules and allow written reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to work on goals from different settings.
