Client-centered and trauma-informed online therapy

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening with empathy and helping people explore their feelings at their own pace. This approach supports self-exploration, self-worth and personal growth, and can be helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, life transitions and relationship concerns.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on processing traumatic experiences and reducing their ongoing impact. It aims to help people understand how past events affect current thoughts, emotions and behaviour, and supports rebuilding a sense of safety and control after abuse or assault.

Joanne works collaboratively with each person to identify which approach or combination of approaches will best meet their needs. She and the client review goals, preferences and practical considerations together and adapt the plan as progress is made, so finding the right therapeutic fit is part of the work.

Online sessions via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and different communication styles. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home and choose the format that feels most comfortable at each stage of therapy.
