Therapeutic approaches and online support
Andrew uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, non-judgemental space where the client’s own goals and experience guide the work. This approach is suited to people seeking greater self-understanding, emotional processing and a collaborative relationship with their therapist.He also employs solution-focused therapy, which concentrates on identifying practical steps and small changes that move a person toward their goals. This method can be helpful for people who want short-term, goal-oriented work to address specific concerns.
Andrew is familiar with systemic therapy, which looks at patterns in relationships and family systems to understand and address difficulties that arise between people. This approach can benefit couples and families dealing with communication, role and relational issues.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Andrew works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences and goals, and adapts methods so the plan fits the individual or couple rather than forcing a predetermined model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, plus live chat and text-based messaging - so people can access support around work, family and daily life commitments. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into a busy schedule while working with registered professionals and therapists who can tailor the approach to each client’s situation.
