Therapeutic approaches and online support

Anneke integrates client-centred therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and mindfulness techniques into her online practice. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the therapist follows the client’s lead, helping people explore their feelings and values and build self-understanding. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) works with patterns of thinking and behaviour to address problems like anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful habits by developing practical skills and new perspectives. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance, which can reduce stress and support emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Anneke works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as the work evolves.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it possible for people to access registered professionals and continue therapeutic work from home, while choosing the format that best supports their engagement and progress.
