Haldun Musazlioglu, NCPS

Haldun commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centred work to help people clarify what matters to them and take practical steps towards those values. ACT involves noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then committing to small actions that match your priorities. Client-centred therapy focuses on a warm, non-judgemental conversation where the person’s own goals guide the pace and content.

He also draws on emotionally-focused techniques when relationship emotions are central. Those methods help people recognise and respond to strong emotions and rebuild trust and connection where needed. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a shared task - the therapist will talk through options and tailor plans to goals, preferences and what works in practice.

Online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy lives. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a quicker check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for shorter exchanges, writing through difficult moments or keeping therapy going between appointments. These formats increase flexibility and help people maintain regular contact with a therapist regardless of location.
