Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Paul takes a collaborative stance - he and the client work together to decide which methods best match the client’s needs, goals, and personal preferences. Flexibility and mutual agreement guide treatment choices.

Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to access help from home. These options offer practical benefits such as scheduling flexibility and the ability to continue work between sessions, while enabling registered professionals and therapists to provide consistent, ongoing support.
