Approaches Andrew Uses in Online Therapy

Andrew draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on empathetic understanding and supporting people to explore their own values and goals. This approach is helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, identity questions and navigating difficult life changes because it prioritises the person’s perspective and personal growth.

He also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a structured, problem-focused method that helps people identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. CBT is often applied for anxiety, panic, low mood, sleep difficulties and coping with stressful situations because it gives practical tools to change patterns that maintain distress.

Andrew may also integrate solution-focused techniques to help clients set clear goals and build on existing strengths when a shorter-term, results-oriented plan is appropriate. Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process - Andrew works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best with their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan over time.

Online work via video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility and easier access to licensed professionals for people in different locations or with busy schedules. These options make it possible to continue therapy around work, family commitments or when face-to-face sessions are not feasible, while maintaining continuity of care.
