Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

John uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and insight. One common strand of his work involves skills-based, problem-focused techniques that help people identify patterns, learn coping strategies and manage symptoms of stress, anxiety and addictive behaviours. These methods are practical and often include step-by-step tools to reduce distress and improve daily functioning.

Another strand is exploratory, insight-oriented work that helps clients make sense of past experiences, trauma or relationship patterns. This kind of work supports emotional processing and can be useful for issues such as bereavement, complex family dynamics and long-standing mood concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. John will work with each person to assess needs, goals and preferences and tailor the mix of techniques accordingly, adjusting as therapy progresses so that the approach fits the client rather than the other way around.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - offer flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, to connect from different locations and to choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable, while still receiving support from a registered professional.
