Therapeutic approaches and working online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. It involves reflective listening and supports people in naming what matters to them and what they want to change. This approach can help someone who feels stuck figure out personal values and next steps.Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and emotional responses. It helps people notice how they react in moments of stress and practice new ways of relating, which can ease isolation and improve communication.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will discuss different methods and decide together which fits a person's goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps shape practical exercises and session focus over time.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking.
