Integrative and Relational Approaches for Online Care

Ciaran works from an integrative perspective, combining complementary therapeutic methods into a coherent approach tailored to each person. Integrative therapy draws on multiple evidence-based techniques to address complex problems like depression, anxiety, relationship breakdowns, and difficulties with self-esteem by adapting methods to fit a client's needs and preferences. His relational approach emphasises the patterns that emerge between therapist and client and uses the therapeutic relationship itself to explore attachment, intimacy, and interpersonal challenges, which can be particularly helpful for trauma, abandonment, and attachment-related issues.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is treated as a collaborative process. Ciaran partners with clients to identify goals, explore what feels most helpful, and adjust the approach over time so that therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.

Online work is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more accessible and flexible. These options allow sessions to fit around work, family, and other commitments, and they enable ongoing support for people who live at a distance or prefer remote contact with a registered professional.
