Approaches that guide online therapy and healing
Neill combines person-centred practice with evidence-based methods to support change. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping the individual find their own solutions - it is useful for building self-awareness, self-compassion and working through life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is practical and goal-oriented, helping people identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviours that contribute to anxiety, depression and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance and improved interpersonal effectiveness, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Neill works collaboratively with clients to identify what fits their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts methods over time so therapy remains focused and responsive to progress and changing priorities.
Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - make it easier to access therapy around work, family life and geographic limitations. These options offer flexibility in scheduling, consistent contact between sessions when needed, and the ability to engage in therapy from wherever the client feels most comfortable, while still working with registered professionals and therapists to pursue meaningful change.
