How his approaches translate to online work
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. It helps people clarify what matters to them and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices that can reduce reactivity and help with stress and anger.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and try methods that fit the client's needs. Sessions are collaborative, with the client and counsellor deciding together what to try and how to measure progress.
The biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make fitting counselling into a working day easier, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They can also offer a way to keep regular appointments while managing busy schedules. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt worksheets, behavioural experiments and brief mindfulness exercises so they work in a remote session.
