How client-centred work can translate online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance and following the client's pace. The therapist offers a non-directive space where people name their concerns and set their own goals, which can help with stress, anxiety, relationship strain and life changes.

Victoria also draws on integrative counselling principles from her training. This means she draws on different ways of working where helpful, while keeping the person and their pace central to sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to decide what feels most useful, based on their needs, goals and preferences. That discussion continues as work progresses, and adjustments are made together.

Please check which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare and travel, reduce the time spent getting to appointments and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt how they work so sessions fit everyday life without promising specific outcomes.
