How Ruth’s approaches are used in online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on following what the client brings. The therapist listens, reflects what is said and helps the person make sense of their feelings and choices. This approach can help with relationship patterns, attachment questions and day-to-day stress.Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people weigh options and find reasons to change. It is useful when someone wants clearer goals around behaviour, communication or making life changes but feels unsure how to start.
Deciding which approach to use is part of the work together. Ruth will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs and suggest a way of working that fits. That choice can be reviewed as sessions progress so the approach matches what is most helpful.
The practical benefit of online therapy is that it can fit around work and family life. Confirm the available session formats before booking since specific formats were not listed in the profile. Online sessions can make it easier to schedule shorter check-ins, avoid travel time and have conversations from different locations when that helps with day-to-day routines.
