How Emma works online
She also draws on mindfulness techniques such as simple breathing and grounding exercises to help reduce anxiety and improve emotional regulation. These are usually short practices that can be guided during a session and practised between meetings.
Trauma-focused methods are used when someone has been through distressing experiences; these approaches aim to help process difficult memories and reduce their hold on everyday life. Techniques are introduced gently and paced according to each person's readiness.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with the client to explore which methods suit their goals and preferences. Together they will agree on pacing, activities and any creative tools to use, adapting things as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions more easily around work, family and medical appointments. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins or to follow up more regularly without travel.
