Approaches and online care with an integrative therapist
Malcolm commonly integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into his work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and current relational patterns shape emotional responses and can help with intimacy-related issues, relationship difficulty, and abandonment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathetic listening and supporting a person to find their own solutions, which can be especially helpful for self-esteem, life transitions, and coping with stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and is often used for anxiety, depression, and practical coping strategies.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Malcolm works collaboratively to identify which methods best match a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. He tailors the mix of approaches over time, consulting with clients to ensure the work feels aligned and effective for them.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access registered professionals from diverse locations, support continuity of care during life changes, and allow clients to choose the way of working that fits their routine and communication style.
