Therapeutic approaches and online care with David Mattis
David integrates client-centred therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside emotionally-focused work to tailor support to each person’s needs. Client-centred therapy emphasises a trusting, non-directive relationship where the therapist follows the client’s lead and helps them explore feelings and values; it is helpful for building self-esteem and working through life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce anxiety, depression, and phobias, offering practical skills for day-to-day coping. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people recognise and reshape emotional responses within relationships and can be useful for attachment issues, grief, and interpersonal conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and David works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. He adapts techniques over time and invites feedback so the work remains relevant and effective for the individual.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from different locations. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling, allow clients to choose the mode they find most comfortable, and make consistent attendance more achievable for people juggling work, caregiving, or mobility challenges.
