Therapeutic approaches and online sessions
Stephen commonly integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy alongside an existential perspective. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the therapeutic relationship and creates a respectful, empathetic setting where the client’s own goals and values guide the work - this approach is useful for issues around self-esteem, relationship concerns and life transitions. Mindfulness Therapy offers practical exercises to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity, helping with anxiety, stress and emotional regulation. Existential Therapy explores meaning, responsibility and personal values, which can support people facing grief, identity questions or major life changes.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Stephen works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the style of work as therapy progresses.
Online therapy provides flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to access support from home or while balancing other commitments. These options allow registered professionals and therapists to offer consistent, ongoing care that can be adapted to each person’s schedule and communication preferences.
