Client-Centered Therapy

How does this approach work?

Think of therapy as a steady, warm light in a dim room. The room is your inner world. You already know where the doors and windows are—you just need enough light to see them. In sessions, you set the pace and the focus. Your therapist listens deeply, reflects back what they hear, and helps you connect with what matters most—without pressure or judgment.

This approach can stand alone or blend beautifully with CBT, ACT, EMDR, and mindfulness-based tools.

What can this approach help with?

• Anxiety & Overthinking: Feel grounded and safe while you sort through worry.

• Depression & Low Mood: Reconnect with needs, values, and hope.

• Self-Esteem & Self-Compassion: Heal inner criticism; build a kinder inner voice.

• Stress & Burnout: Create space to breathe, reset, and choose what’s sustainable.

• Grief & Life Transitions: Process loss and change at your own pace.

• Relationship Patterns & Boundaries: Understand your needs and communicate clearly.
