Approaches to Healing Online with Evidence-Informed Care
Michael Ross integrates trauma-informed therapy, humanistic counselling and logotherapy into online practice to address a range of concerns. Trauma-informed therapy focuses on understanding how past events affect current reactions and relationships, helping clients reduce reactivity and build emotional regulation skills. Humanistic counselling emphasises empathy, unconditional positive regard and the client-therapist relationship, supporting personal growth, self-esteem and clearer life direction. Logotherapy explores meaning and values, assisting people who feel stuck, empty or without purpose to reconnect with what matters to them.
Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the collaborative process. Michael works with each person to assess their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting methods over time to find the best fit and pacing interventions in partnership with the client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit differing schedules, energy levels and communication styles. This accessibility helps people maintain continuity of care while balancing work, study or other commitments, and allows registered professionals to provide consistent therapeutic support regardless of location.
