Therapeutic approaches and online support

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client leads the pace and direction of sessions. It helps people clarify values, build self-understanding, and address relationship or identity concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) combines practical skills with structured reflection to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and develop alternative strategies - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and acceptance skills to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation, which can be helpful for stress, cravings in addiction, and persistent worry.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Chijioke works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adapts techniques from different models as appropriate and discusses options with clients so they can make informed choices about their care.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, family responsibilities, mobility limits, or those living outside the UK. Registered professionals and therapists can provide the same core therapeutic work through these formats, allowing clients to access support from wherever they are and maintain continuity of care during life transitions.
