How client-centred work adapts to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person rather than a fixed programme. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is said and supports the client in finding their own answers. This approach can help with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns and life transitions such as a midlife crisis.Victoria's way of working aims to follow the client's lead, which fits well with an online conversation. She will collaborate with each person to decide how to work together, based on their needs, goals and preferences. Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be discussed openly during early sessions.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm current online options before booking. When available, online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also help when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs an option that uses less bandwidth. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can discuss which format would suit a person's situation and daily routine.
