How therapeutic approaches work online and in counselling
Chrissie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach is skills-based work that teaches emotional regulation and coping tools for anxiety and day-to-day stress. These are short exercises and strategies people can try between sessions to reduce worry and increase calm.Another common focus is grief and loss support, which involves paced conversations about loss, memory, and meaning. This helps people organise their feelings, find ways to remember what matters, and slowly rebuild routines and confidence.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Chrissie will discuss your goals, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust based on what helps. She works with you to pick strategies that match your preferences and life demands rather than following a single script.
