Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. In practice this approach helps people explore connection, separation, and trust issues, which can be useful for relationship problems, attachment concerns, and feelings of abandonment. Client-Centered Therapy places the client's experience at the centre of the work, offering empathy, acceptance, and non-directive support to help people build self-understanding and confidence; it is often helpful for stress, low self-esteem, and life transitions. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from their difficulties by examining the stories they tell about their lives, opening space to reframe challenges like identity struggles, family dynamics, or persistent negative beliefs.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Francis works collaboratively to identify what fits a client's needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors methods as therapy progresses so the approach aligns with what the person hopes to change and the pace that feels comfortable.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility, allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or geographic constraints, and they enable registered professionals to provide ongoing support across distances while accommodating different communication styles and schedules.
