Using Narrative and Client-Centered Work Online

Dr. Murray draws on Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and their lives. That can make it easier to spot unhelpful patterns and try different ways of talking about problems. Client-Centered Therapy is also central to her work and means she focuses on listening closely and reflecting what matters most to the client.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support people who want to make changes but feel stuck. These methods are used together in a collaborative way so the therapist and client choose what feels most useful based on goals and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging allow for quick reflections, ongoing support between sessions, and flexibility for busy schedules.

Overall, online therapy with her focuses on practical steps, clear goals, and regular check-ins to make progress that fits your life.
