How client-centered, mindfulness, and narrative work online
Debbie uses client-centered methods that focus on what matters most to the person. This means the conversation follows the client’s priorities and the therapist reflects and supports the person’s own choices. It helps when someone wants to feel heard and build trust at their own pace.She also integrates mindfulness techniques to manage anxiety and stress. These are simple attention and breathing practices that help reduce reactivity and improve sleep and daily coping. Narrative work is used to look at the stories people tell about themselves and to make different, more helpful meanings out of hard events.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Debbie collaborates with each client to pick methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts pace and tools as progress is made so the plan stays relevant and realistic.
