Client-Centered and CBT approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on providing a supportive, non-directive space where clients are heard and valued. In this approach the therapist follows the client’s lead, offering empathy and understanding to help clarify feelings and goals - it is helpful for people working through relationship concerns, self-esteem issues or the emotional impact of life changes.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured approach that explores the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical strategies to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression and stress, as well as to improve coping with everyday challenges.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Nicola Gordon-Thaxter works collaboratively with clients to determine the best fit based on their needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss options and adapt methods as work progresses to ensure therapy remains relevant and helpful.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - clients can choose video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit their schedules and circumstances. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home or work, and fit therapy into busy lives while working with registered professionals and therapists experienced in remote delivery.
