Online support
He also works in a client-centred way, which means sessions focus on the person's agenda and pace. The counsellor listens, reflects and helps people find their own solutions rather than imposing steps. Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour when needed, which can help with anxiety, low mood and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and together they will shape the way sessions run. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs shift.
Online therapy with him uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make contact easier to fit in. Video calls allow a fuller conversational experience, phone sessions can be quieter and need less bandwidth, and messaging suits shorter check-ins or those who prefer not to use a camera. These options make therapy more flexible for different routines and living situations.
