How Sarah uses talking therapies online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they are. It aims to create a space where people feel heard and can explore thoughts and feelings at their own pace, which helps with issues such as low self-esteem, loss and relationship worries.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical tools and short exercises to help reduce anxiety, manage stress and change unhelpful patterns that maintain depression or worry.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then try approaches that suit those needs. Decisions about which methods to use are made together and can change as progress is made.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people see each other and work in a conversational way similar to face-to-face sessions. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer typing, want more frequent brief contact, or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel.
