How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and supporting a person’s own choices. The therapist offers empathy and acceptance so clients can speak freely, clarify what matters and find their own solutions. This approach is often helpful for stress, low mood and self-esteem issues.Psychodynamic Therapy looks at patterns that may come from earlier life experiences and how they show up now. Sessions gently explore recurring feelings and relationship styles to increase self-understanding and reduce unhelpful repetition. This can help with attachment concerns, abandonment and long-standing emotional difficulties.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Martyn will discuss what feels helpful and adapt the methods to the client's goals and preferences. The decision about which direction to take is collaborative and can change over time as needs shift.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work and family life and saving travel time. Audio or video can make it easier to schedule a short check-in during a break or a longer session outside usual hours. Confirm the available session formats and times when you book so arrangements match your routine.
