Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Waverley uses client-centered therapy to create a respectful, non-judgemental space where the client’s experience and goals shape the work; this approach helps people explore feelings, build self-awareness and strengthen their relationship with themselves. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, for which he has diploma training, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and is often used to address anxiety, depression and trauma-related symptoms. Solution-Focused Therapy complements these methods by concentrating on practical, goal-oriented steps and short-term strategies to create meaningful change.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Waverley treats this as a collaborative effort. He will discuss different methods, listen to the client’s preferences and tailor the plan to their needs and goals so that the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers flexibility for people juggling work, family or other commitments. Sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging allow clients to access registered professionals and therapists from different locations, make scheduling easier and let the therapy fit around everyday life while maintaining consistent, ongoing support.
