How Deborah's approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without rushing, reflects what is said and helps the person clarify their own goals. This approach is useful for people who want space to talk through difficult feelings and to be heard while figuring out next steps.

Solution-Focused Therapy focuses on practical change. Sessions look for what is already working and build small, achievable steps toward clear goals. It is often helpful for people facing specific problems or wanting short-term support to make a change.

Deciding on an approach is part of the process and is done together. The counsellor will discuss what feels most useful based on the person's needs, hopes and preferences, and may adapt methods as those needs change.

Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls work well for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone sessions suit quick check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief updates or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options aim to make therapy easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
