Therapeutic approaches and flexible online support

Alexander "Alex" Curran works from a person-centered perspective that focuses on understanding each client as an individual and supporting them at their own pace. This approach helps when people need a non-judgemental space to explore emotions, relationships and personal values.

He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), which explores the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to address anxiety, low mood and unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy is another component of his practice, teaching present-focused awareness and simple attention skills useful for stress reduction and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Alex collaborates with clients to identify methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. He treats therapy as a shared endeavour, adjusting style and techniques as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat or through text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support around work, family and other commitments.
