Approaches That Guide Online Therapeutic Support

Paul combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to form the backbone of his online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathetic listening and supporting clients to explore their own values and choices - it is useful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and clarifying personal goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) helps identify and adjust unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, making it effective for anxiety, depression, and practical coping skills.

He also uses solution-focused techniques that concentrate on strengths and achievable steps, helping clients move toward tangible improvements even when time is limited. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process - Paul works with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan as therapy progresses.

Online sessions - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or health needs. These options make it easier to maintain consistent support, fit sessions into busy schedules, and access a registered professional from home or another convenient location.
