Therapeutic Approaches and Online Sessions

Christopher Hurd draws on Client-Centered Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), along with hypnotherapy, to guide his online practice. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathetic listening and a nonjudgmental stance, helping people explore their feelings and identify personal solutions - it is often helpful for stress, anxiety, self-esteem, and life transitions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional patterns and attachment dynamics, which can support work on relationships, trauma responses, and intimacy concerns. Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to explore thought and behavior patterns that may contribute to habits, anxiety, or difficulties with coping.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Christopher works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts techniques as the work progresses to ensure the fit feels right.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or travel. These options help people access consistent support from registered professionals and therapists, maintain continuity of care, and choose formats that feel most comfortable for them.
