Approaches That Guide Online Sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person s own perspectives lead the work. The therapist listens deeply and supports self-exploration so clients can clarify values, build self-worth and make choices that fit their lives. Trauma-Focused Therapy offers targeted ways to process and reduce the ongoing impact of traumatic events. It aims to help people understand how trauma shapes feelings and behaviours and to develop skills for managing distress and moving forward. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented approach that helps people resolve ambivalence about change. It is useful for behaviour changes such as addressing substance use, improving relationships, or committing to new health and wellbeing goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Tim works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and he reviews progress together to adapt the approach as circumstances evolve.
Online therapy with Tim can take place by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals without needing to travel, and they allow sessions to be scheduled around work, family and other commitments.
