He also addresses work and money worries, midlife questions, ADHD and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include attachment and abandonment, communication problems, guilt, shame and forgiveness.

He aims to make the process as simple and approachable as possible for someone taking their first steps into therapy.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Integrative therapy draws together different evidence-based methods to match what each person needs. In practice this means sessions can include practical problem solving, skills to manage strong emotions and work on patterns that cause repeated difficulties. This approach suits people dealing with anxiety, depression, relationship problems and life transitions.

Trauma-informed techniques focus on safety and pacing, helping people notice how past events affect current feelings and reactions. These methods help with grief, trauma and experiences that leave someone feeling unsafe or disconnected from themselves. The therapist uses straightforward exercises and paced conversation to help a person feel more in control of their responses.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify goals, test different ways of working and adjust the plan over time. Clients take an active role in choosing what feels most helpful while the therapist offers options and guidance.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different preferences. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be simpler to fit into a busy day, while messaging and live chat support shorter check-ins and ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to arrange regular work around family, work and travel.
