How Veronica’s approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy prioritises understanding the person’s experience through active listening and reflection. It helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters to them, which is useful for stress, grief and identity concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to reduce unhelpful patterns. This approach is often used for anxiety, low mood and problems with daily functioning.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and shifting emotional responses that get in the way of connection with others. It can be helpful for people who want to change patterns in close relationships or work through intense emotional reactions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has helped before. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan if something does not fit, making decisions collaboratively.

Online therapy gives practical flexibility. Video calls let people see 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 short check-ins, brief reflections, or people who express themselves better in writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
