Daniel Lawrence, BACP

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on building an accepting, non-judgemental relationship so people feel heard and can set the pace of work; this helps with low self-esteem, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) uses simple exercises and practical tasks to challenge unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours, which suits anxiety, depression and sleep or eating problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people identify and shift emotional responses that cause conflict or distance.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Daniel will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s goals, needs and preferences, and will adjust the plan as progress or new priorities emerge.

Online formats such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper emotional work, phone calls can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options give flexibility for scheduling, different communication styles and varying day-to-day demands.
