Therapeutic approaches Rebecca uses for online work

Rebecca draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and narrative therapy to tailor online work to each person's needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and supporting the client to explore their own goals and values - it can be useful for building self-esteem, processing loss, and improving relationships. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep difficulties and coping with stress. Narrative therapy helps people reframe the stories they tell about themselves, which can ease issues like shame, identity struggles and relationship patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Rebecca works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences and circumstances. She adapts techniques over time as needs evolve, treating clients as partners in planning their support.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and for those who live outside the therapist's local area. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from familiar surroundings and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
