Approaches and online support for meaningful change
Paul draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a compassionate, nonjudgmental environment where clients lead the conversation and the therapist follows. This approach helps people feel heard and supported while they explore personal values, relationships, and identity concerns.He also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours connect. CBT is useful for managing anxiety, mood difficulties, sleep and eating patterns, and stress by teaching concrete skills and new ways of responding to challenging situations.
Motivational Interviewing is another tool Paul may use when change feels difficult or motivation is low. It focuses on exploring ambivalence and strengthening a person's own reasons for change, which can be especially helpful with addictions and habit-related issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Paul works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, or travel. For many people the range of options increases access and lets them continue treatment from different locations while working with registered professionals and therapists who can tailor support to their lives.
