Therapeutic approaches for online support
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building a respectful, non-judgemental relationship where the client’s experience leads the work. It helps people feel heard and valued while they explore personal goals and decisions.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour, offering practical tools to manage anxiety, depression, stress and unhelpful patterns. It is goal-oriented and suited to people seeking structured strategies for change.
Narrative Therapy helps clients reframe their life stories by separating problems from identity and exploring alternative meanings. It can be useful for issues like grief, relationship patterns and long-standing self-esteem concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dianne works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and may blend approaches to suit the presenting issue and the client’s style.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to access therapy around work, family and location. These options support continuity of care and allow appropriately qualified or registered professionals to tailor pace and format so therapy fits into everyday life.
