Online support
Therapy approaches that work online
Esra commonly uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help people process distressing memories and reduce the weight they carry. EMDR involves guided attention and structured sets of processing to help shift how memories are held in the mind, which can ease trauma-related reactions.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a hands-on approach that helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviours. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression and stress because it focuses on practical steps and measurable changes. Alongside these, client-centred work prioritises the relationship and creates space for people to lead the conversation while the therapist reflects and supports.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Esra will discuss options and help decide what fits each person's goals and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video calls let a therapist and client use visual cues and exercises; phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited; live chat and messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life while keeping consistent contact with a registered or accredited professional.
