How therapeutic approaches shape online work
Thelma describes her core approach as person-centred, which means sessions focus on listening, acceptance and letting the client lead the pace of change. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to talk through emotions, grief or relationship worries.She also draws on therapeutic social work perspectives that attend to behaviour, routines and practical problems in daily life. That way of working brings practical strategies for coping with stress, caregiving strain, ageing concerns and problems that affect functioning at work and home.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Thelma will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. That collaborative planning helps decide whether to emphasise emotional exploration, practical coping skills or a mix of both.
