How Client-Centred Therapy shapes online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening carefully and following the client’s lead. The counsellor offers empathy, acceptance and reflection so the person can explore feelings and make their own decisions. This approach is often helpful for issues like anxiety, grief, relationship strain and self-esteem concerns.The collaborative process means finding an approach that fits each person. Zahava will work with the client to decide what feels most helpful, adjusting pace, focus and goals as they go. That way the therapy stays relevant to day-to-day needs and personal preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so readers should confirm current online options before booking.
