Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Client-centred therapy focuses on the individual’s experience and aims to create a respectful, non-directive space where the person’s own insights and goals guide the work. This approach helps with self-esteem, life transitions and building a stronger sense of identity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and is often used for anxiety, depression and stress-related difficulties. Attachment-based therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships to understand how they influence current relationships and emotional responses, which can be helpful for issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties and relationship problems.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Craig works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify which methods best match a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the approach as therapy progresses.
Online therapy with Craig is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limitations or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, maintain continuity of care and access support from home or other convenient locations, while allowing therapists to work collaboratively with clients to plan effective and accessible care.
