Evidence-based approaches for online therapy and support
Alan uses practical, evidence-based techniques to help clients manage symptoms and build new skills. One strand of his work focuses on structured, problem-focused strategies that help people identify unhelpful thinking and develop coping skills for stress, anxiety, and mood difficulties. This approach is action-oriented and often includes exercises to practise between sessions.He also provides trauma-informed support for those processing difficult or painful experiences, working at a pace that the client finds manageable and focusing on building safety and emotional regulation before addressing deeper material. In addition, Alan draws on attachment-focused perspectives to explore relationship patterns, improve communication, and address issues of isolation, guilt, or shame.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Alan works with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts techniques over time so the therapy fits the individual. Online therapy with registered professionals offers practical flexibility - sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit help into busy lives, reduce travel, and maintain continuity of care when schedules change.
