Online session options
How narrative and skills-based approaches work online
Ciara uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from unhelpful stories they repeat. By retelling experiences in new ways, people often find more choice and clarity about relationships and identity. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on spotting values and taking small, meaningful actions even when feelings are difficult. These methods are useful for anxiety, stress, grief, and navigating life changes.Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Sessions are collaborative - the plan can change as progress is made and new needs appear.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is helpful for deeper conversational work and real-time practice. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat or messaging can suit quick skill reminders, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer appointments. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life.
