Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support
Dr. Saf Buxy uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that emphasize practical skills and exploration. One common strand of his work focuses on skills-based interventions that help people manage symptoms of stress and anxiety - teaching tools for breathing, grounding, problem-solving, and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking so everyday challenges become more manageable. Another area of focus is trauma-informed exploratory work, which supports clients in processing difficult experiences while building resilience and safety at a sustainable pace; this approach is suited to those coping with past harm, abuse, or significant life stressors.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Buxy collaborates with each person to identify strategies that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This collaborative stance helps ensure the work feels relevant and effective for the individual.

These formats offer flexibility for people balancing work, family, or travel, while allowing registered professionals to maintain continuity of care and adapt sessions to what works best for each client.
