Online and remote counselling with a relational focus
Karolina adapts client-centered therapy for remote formats by prioritising empathic listening and a collaborative therapeutic relationship. In client-centered work she focuses on understanding each person from their own perspective, helping them explore feelings, values and the ways their coping strategies may no longer serve them. This approach translates to online sessions by keeping the conversation grounded in the client’s experience and pace.
Existential therapy is offered alongside a client-centered stance to address questions of meaning, choice and authenticity. Through reflective dialogue she supports exploration of life purpose, identity and difficult transitions, helping people consider possibilities rather than prescribing solutions. The combination of these approaches is suited to those who want a thoughtful, exploratory process and a partner in deciding next steps.
Remote sessions are available via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Karolina and a prospective client can discuss which format fits their needs and how to structure sessions for ongoing work or short-term support.
