Evidence-based approaches for effective online counselling

Maria uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. CBT is practical and skills-focused, often used for anxiety, stress and mood difficulties. She also applies person-centred therapy, which emphasises a compassionate, non-judgemental relationship and supports clients to explore their values and build self-awareness. In addition, trauma-informed frameworks guide the way she attends to safety and pacing for people with past or ongoing trauma, ensuring work proceeds with sensitivity to each person’s reactions and needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Maria collaborates with each client to determine which techniques best suit their goals, preferences and life circumstances, and she adapts her methods as work progresses. This collaborative process helps tailor therapy so it feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy with Maria can take place by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from home or elsewhere, reduce travel time and allow clients to choose the communication style that works best for them.
