Person-centred and evidence-based approaches for online care

Thelma uses a person-centred approach that places the client’s experience at the centre of therapy - this style focuses on active listening, empathy and supporting clients to find their own solutions, and it is well suited to work on relationship issues, grief and personal exploration. She also draws on strengths-based techniques that identify and build on a person’s existing resources and coping skills, helping clients manage stress, anxiety and everyday challenges by applying practical strategies tailored to their life.

These methods sit within a wider framework of evidence-based therapeutic techniques, applied flexibly to address trauma, depression, family difficulties and specific concerns listed in her specialties. Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process - Thelma works with each person to determine which strategies best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering practical flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from licensed professionals and therapists while fitting therapy into daily life, whether someone prefers real-time conversation or written reflection.
