Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Support
Client-centered therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering a respectful, non-directive space where individuals are encouraged to explore their feelings and make their own choices; this approach can be helpful for people working through grief, relationship concerns, or low mood. Jungian therapy looks at personal stories, symbols, and patterns to uncover deeper meanings and recurring themes in a person’s life; it can support exploration of identity, attachment patterns, and issues that recur across relationships. Mindfulness therapy introduces simple, present-focused practices that help people notice thoughts and emotions with less judgment, which can be useful for managing anxiety, anger, or depressive symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Brian works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. He tailors the work over time so the therapy remains responsive and helpful.
Online therapy with Brian is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for clients with different schedules, mobility needs, or geographic locations. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions and to access support from home or while travelling, helping therapy fit into everyday life.
