Approaches for remote work and therapeutic fit
Andrew uses a systemic approach that explores how family dynamics, social roles, and relationships influence feelings and behaviour - a useful way to address issues like parenting difficulties, relationship stresses, and life transitions. He also works in a client-focused, or person-centred, way that prioritises careful listening and follows the client’s lead to build understanding and self-directed change; this style can help with self-esteem, coping, and adjustment to change. He pays careful attention to trauma as it appears in a person’s life, working with the client’s experience rather than relabelling it, which supports people dealing with past abuse, loss, or complex emotional responses.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. He collaborates with clients to determine which methods best suit their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting over time as those needs evolve. Registered professionals and therapists often blend techniques to find the most helpful mix.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into daily life. Remote work can reduce travel time, offer scheduling convenience, and allow people to access support from familiar surroundings while engaging in the same therapeutic work they would pursue in person.
