How Theresa’s approaches work for online therapy

Theresa uses client-centred work to prioritise what matters to each person. This approach means sessions focus on the client’s concerns, with the therapist listening, reflecting and helping the client find their own solutions. It suits people who need space to make sense of their feelings and values. She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy, which uses structured techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and eating concerns because it offers practical exercises and steps to try between sessions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Theresa will discuss needs, goals and preferences with each person and agree what to try together. This collaborative process lets the client shape therapy as it progresses rather than follow a fixed plan. Please check the available session options before booking, as the biography does not list formats. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy week, reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Online work can also make it easier to use written worksheets or screen-shared exercises during a session. Registered or accredited professionals, including therapists, can adapt techniques like CBT and client-centred listening to work effectively at a distance, and Theresa will help decide which way of working suits your circumstances best.
