Online support

How these approaches work online

Existential Therapy helps people look at meaning, choice and responsibility in life. Online sessions using this approach often focus on questions about purpose, identity and major life changes, which can help with midlife concerns, isolation and doubts about direction.

Client-Centred Therapy prioritises a supportive, non-judgemental relationship. The counsellor listens closely and helps people find their own solutions, which can be useful for low self-esteem, anxiety and everyday stress.

Motivational Interviewing is a practical, goal-oriented style that helps people clarify what they want to change and build motivation to do it. It often suits people who feel stuck with habits, commitment doubts or workplace choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences and circumstances and agree on a way forward together. That collaborative process can mix elements from different approaches if that fits the client's needs.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone work, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people keep face-to-face contact, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break at work. Live chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins and people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around daily life.
