How Amy’s approaches translate to online counselling

Amy commonly uses client-centred work and cognitive behavioural therapy in sessions. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead, helping them clarify goals and feel understood. Cognitive behavioural therapy involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behaviour changes to reduce worry and improve mood.

She also draws on mindfulness techniques to help reduce overwhelm and increase awareness. Mindfulness practices are simple breathing or attention exercises that can be used between sessions to manage stress and improve sleep. These approaches suit a range of concerns from anxiety and depression to relationship stress and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Amy will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try methods that feel useful and adjust the focus over time if needed.
