John Goodrick, BACP

John uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on making small, practical changes people can use between sessions. One common approach helps people spot unhelpful thought patterns and test different ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood. This method is useful for panic, social anxiety, worry and depression.

A second approach emphasises building coping skills and routines to manage stress, sleep and eating problems. It helps with practical problems such as sleeplessness, cravings, or keeping calm in tense situations. This way of working links simple strategies to the concerns someone brings to sessions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and daily life and then try methods that suit them. Plans are reviewed together and changed if something does not fit.

Online therapy is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls work well for deeper conversations, phone sessions suit quick check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, and text or chat can be helpful for brief updates and ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting or travel while keeping continuity of care.
