Client-Centered Care and Online Access
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgmental space where the person leads the pace and direction of work. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what is said, and helps people access their own strengths and values; this approach is commonly helpful for issues such as stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, grief, and coping with life changes.
David uses a collaborative, strengths-based way of working that emphasises the client as the expert of their own experience. Together they explore goals, try different strategies, and adjust the approach based on what feels most useful, so finding the right therapeutic fit is part of the process rather than a one-time decision.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access support from home or work. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow people to choose the communication style that suits them best, and enable ongoing contact with registered professionals and therapists even when in-person appointments are not practical.
