How therapeutic approaches fit with online counselling
Heather uses person-centred work as a core approach, which means sessions begin with listening and following the client's pace. This way of working helps people who want to explore feelings about anxiety, depression, grief, self-esteem and relationship concerns in a non-directive setting.She also draws on evidence-based techniques that support people with obsessive thoughts and compulsions, and with ADHD-related difficulties. For obsessions and compulsions this involves identifying patterns and practising manageable steps to change responses. For ADHD it can mean structuring conversations around routines, prioritising tasks and finding practical coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Heather works collaboratively to decide what fits each person's needs, goals and preferences. Clients and therapist review methods together and adapt the plan as therapy progresses.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, save travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use creative ways of working within sessions while staying in their own environment.
