Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care
Damian commonly integrates client-centred therapy and cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) in his online work. Client-centred therapy focuses on creating a supportive, empathetic space where a person’s own insights and strengths guide the pace of change - it is helpful for building self-esteem, processing life changes, and addressing relational concerns. CBT is a structured, practical approach that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be especially useful for stress, anxiety, and managing anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Damian works collaboratively with each person to decide what fits best. He listens to clients’ goals and preferences, combines methods when appropriate, and adjusts techniques as the work evolves to meet changing needs.
Online therapy with Damian is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, which allows flexibility around work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier to access regular support from a registered professional without needing to travel, helping people sustain continuity of care and fit therapy into their everyday lives.
