Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

David Gibson uses a mix of practical methods to guide online work, including Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Solution-Focused Therapy. Client-Centered Therapy centres the relationship and the client’s perspective, offering an accepting, non-directive space that supports self-exploration and personal growth - it can be especially helpful for grief, relationship concerns and self-esteem issues.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is a structured, goal-oriented approach that helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, making it useful for anxiety, depression and stress. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and small, practical steps toward clear goals, which supports people who want focused, change-oriented work.

Finding the right approach is part of the process - David collaborates with each person to decide which methods, or combination of methods, best align with their needs, goals and preferences. 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 into busy lives, manage transitions and maintain regular contact with a registered professional.
