Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Garfield uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. One strand of his work focuses on practical, skills-based strategies that help identify unhelpful patterns in thinking and behaviour and build new coping tools - useful for issues such as addiction, anxiety, and mood challenges. Another strand emphasises trauma-informed and relational work that explores attachment, past experiences, and interpersonal patterns to help people heal from abuse, relationship difficulties, and grief.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Garfield collaborates with clients to understand their goals, preferences, and circumstances, and together they determine which techniques fit best. This collaborative stance helps shape a plan that feels manageable and relevant to each person’s life.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to access support around work, caregiving, or mobility constraints. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing registered professionals and therapists to work with clients in ways that suit individual needs and promote consistent engagement.
