Integrative approaches adapted for online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering a warm, empathic environment where people are encouraged to explore their feelings and priorities at their own pace. This approach supports self-understanding and is often helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, relationship problems, and life transitions.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and developing practical strategies to change them. CBT can be effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with day-to-day difficulties by teaching skills for managing symptoms and improving functioning.
Mindfulness Therapy introduces simple awareness and grounding techniques that can reduce stress and help with anxiety, physical symptom management, and emotional regulation. These practices are easy to learn and can be integrated into daily routines.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work. Mike collaborates with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and adapts techniques from different approaches to create a personalised plan. This collaborative process helps identify what feels most useful and realistic for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access support from home or when travel is difficult. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care with registered professionals and therapists who can adapt tools and practices to remote formats.
