Therapeutic Approaches for Remote Support
William Hood integrates person-centred therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), and mindfulness into his online practice. Person-centred therapy focuses on providing a supportive, non-judgemental environment where the client leads the conversation and identifies topics to explore; it is useful for building self-awareness and working through relationship or identity concerns. CBT is a structured approach that helps identify and change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, and it can be especially effective for anxiety, stress, and mood-related difficulties. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical techniques to reduce reactivity, which can help with chronic stress, rumination, and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. William works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, goals, and preferences and to tailor the mix of methods accordingly. That collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels relevant and manageable for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when people access support. Sessions can take place via video calls, by phone, through live chat, or by text-based messaging, allowing clients to choose the format that fits their life and comfort level. For many people, remote options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, or mobility considerations, and they allow registered professionals to provide consistent therapeutic guidance across different settings.
