Approaches that guide online therapy
James often draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgmental space where the therapist listens closely and supports clients to find their own solutions; this approach is helpful for building self-esteem, addressing relationship concerns, and exploring life purpose. He also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours - a practical approach commonly used for anxiety, stress, and low mood. In addition, James incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to support greater moment-to-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, which can be useful for stress management and improving emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and James works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best. He tailors methods to individual needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so clients can feel more confident in the direction of their work.
Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexible ways to access support without travel. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life and allow clients to connect with registered professionals from a location that suits them.
