A selection of his methods are easy to use in remote sessions and focus on relationships, thoughts and present experience. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early and close relationships shape current feelings and patterns; it helps with trust, intimacy and recurring relationship conflicts. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce emotional reactivity and improve moment-to-moment coping.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences with each person, try different techniques, and adapt the work based on what helps most. That collaborative exploration means the plan can change as needs evolve.

Online formats provide flexible ways to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for shorter check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options help people maintain continuity of care around work, childcare or other commitments.
