Therapeutic approaches for online support

Dr. McLarnon uses evidence-based techniques focused on practical skill building and relational understanding. One common approach involves skills-based strategies to manage stress and anxiety - these techniques teach concrete ways to recognise triggers, reduce immediate distress and build routines that support emotional stability. Another key focus is attachment-informed relational work - this helps people explore patterns in relationships, understand how early attachments influence current connections and develop healthier ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. McLarnon works collaboratively with clients to identify goals, try methods that match their needs and adjust the plan over time so the therapy fits their preferences and life circumstances.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life. These options allow clients to access registered professionals from their own settings, maintain continuity between sessions and use the format that best supports their comfort and participation.
