Person-centred and Integrative Techniques for Online Support
Barry brings a person-centred approach to online therapy, which focuses on listening deeply, respecting each person's experience, and supporting individuals to find their own solutions. This approach is especially helpful for people coping with grief, low self-worth, relationship difficulties, and major life changes because it prioritises understanding and empowerment.He also practises in an integrative way, combining evidence-based therapeutic techniques as appropriate to the client. That means the therapist selects methods that fit the issue at hand and the client's preferences, whether the focus is emotional processing, building coping skills, or navigating neurodiversity-related challenges.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Barry works with clients to explore goals, preferences, and practical needs and then adapts his approach so it aligns with what will be most useful for the individual.
Online therapy by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy lives, caregiving responsibilities, or mobility constraints. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily routines and to maintain continuity of care when location or schedules change, while still allowing registered professionals and therapists to provide consistent, focused support.
