How Michal adapts therapeutic techniques for online work

Michal uses an integrative approach that draws on well-established therapeutic methods and adapts them to online formats. He often combines practical cognitive-behavioural strategies with deeper reflective work to address anxiety and depression, offering simple exercises that can be practised between sessions to reduce symptoms and build coping skills.

For trauma and grief he incorporates trauma-informed ways of working that focus on stabilisation and gradual processing, helping people manage strong emotions and rebuild a sense of safety in daily life. These approaches support people who feel overwhelmed by past experiences or loss and need step-by-step pacing.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, then adjust methods as therapy progresses. Michal aims to involve the person in planning what to try next and invites feedback so the work stays relevant and helpful.

Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual connection, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for short check-ins, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer to write or need support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, parenting and daily routines while maintaining continuity of care.
