Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-directive space where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports personal growth and self-understanding. This approach is helpful for people who want a collaborative, empathetic setting to explore feelings and life choices.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying patterns of unhelpful thinking and behavior and developing practical skills to change them. CBT is often used for anxiety, stress, and mood difficulties and emphasizes clear strategies and measurable progress.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines acceptance and change strategies to build emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. It can be particularly useful for managing intense emotions, impulsivity, and relationship challenges.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Derek will work with each client to assess needs, goals, and preferences and recommend or adapt methods that fit the individual's situation so therapy feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions take place - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - allowing people to access support from home or while travelling. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity of care across locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
