Approaches and Online Support for Personal Challenges
Marcus combines client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) and mindfulness techniques to tailor support to each person’s needs. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an empathic, non-judgmental space where the client’s own experience and values guide the work - it is useful for relationship issues, self-esteem and exploring life meaning. CBT examines the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and helps people develop practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and change unhelpful patterns. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce stress, improve sleep and increase emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process - the therapist and client work together to identify goals, try different techniques and choose the methods that best fit the client’s preferences, circumstances and progress. Registered professionals will adapt the plan as needs evolve.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to access consistent support around work, family or travel constraints. These options increase flexibility in scheduling, allow sessions from familiar settings and let clients choose the communication style that feels most comfortable while engaging with effective therapeutic approaches.
