He draws on talking and simple strategies to support people dealing with anxiety, low mood and relationship strain.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It uses small exercises and everyday experiments to change how people respond to stress and low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on tracing links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, then testing simple changes to habits and routines to improve sleep, anxiety and coping. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and communication, helping people understand and change repeated interaction styles.Finding the best approach is part of the therapy journey. The therapist will work together with each person to choose which methods suit their goals and preferences. That choice can change over time as needs evolve, and the process is collaborative rather than fixed.
Confirm session options before booking because the biography does not list formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit those who prefer not to be on camera or who need lower-bandwidth options. Registered or accredited professionals and counsellors offer online sessions to help people maintain regular contact and practise new habits between meetings.
