How Carmen’s approaches translate to online counselling
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and acceptance. The counsellor offers a supportive presence and helps people clarify what matters most to them, which can be useful for issues like low self-esteem and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together. In practical sessions the counsellor helps clients try new ways of thinking and small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety or manage mood.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) pays attention to emotions and how they shape relationships. It can help people understand patterns in intimacy-related issues and improve communication.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Carmen will work with each person to choose or combine methods that match their goals, needs and preferences. That decision is reviewed as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can help fit counselling around busy days, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and make it easier to manage appointments across different locations. Registered or accredited professionals can use a blend of practical exercises, conversation and relationship-focused work effectively online.
