Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, non-judgemental environment where the client leads the conversation and the therapist reflects and clarifies. This approach helps people who need space to explore feelings, build self-esteem, and find personal direction.Psychodynamic Therapy explores patterns that developed over time, including how past relationships influence present behaviour and emotions. It can be helpful for people working through attachment issues, recurring relationship conflicts, or deep-rooted feelings such as guilt and shame.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. John works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and he adjusts the focus as therapy progresses so the plan remains relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels. For many people, remote sessions make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy or changing lives, while still working with registered professionals and therapists who can provide guided support.
