How his approaches work online

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on giving people space to speak and feel heard. It helps when someone needs a supportive place to make sense of emotions and decisions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and patterns that feed anxiety or low mood and teaches practical exercises to change them. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) offers skills for managing strong emotions and improving coping in difficult moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques and agree what feels most helpful. This is a collaborative process that adapts over time as needs and priorities change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or when a camera is not wanted. Live chat or messaging is useful for brief check-ins, written reflection, or when someone prefers not to speak aloud. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and travel while using the approaches above to build skills, process loss and improve relationships.
