04Online support
How her chosen approaches work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the client’s lead and helps clarify goals, which can be helpful for anxiety, relationships, and life transitions.Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness and grounding techniques. These tools help people manage overwhelming thoughts, calm the body, and improve sleep or stress responses.
Narrative Therapy looks at the stories people tell about themselves. It helps separate a person from a problem and create new ways of seeing difficult experiences like trauma, loss, or identity struggles.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Debbie will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust plans based on what works. That teamwork helps shape practical steps to try between sessions.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people meet face to face; phone can be quicker or use less bandwidth; chat and text are useful for brief check-ins or when written reflection helps. These formats make it easier to schedule sessions around work, care responsibilities, and daily life, improving flexibility and access to ongoing support.
