How Christopher’s Client-Centred Approach Works Online
Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person's own views and choices. The counsellor listens without judgement and reflects what the person says to help them make sense of their feelings. This approach often helps with anxiety, grief, relationship tensions and states of low mood by focusing on what matters to the individual.Christopher aims to find the right fit together. He will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adjust the approach as the work unfolds. That collaboration means the method can shift to match changing needs over time.
