Client-centred approaches and online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, empathic therapeutic relationship in which the therapist offers genuine, non-judgemental presence and careful listening. This approach helps people explore emotions, build self-awareness, and work through issues such as anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, grief, and feelings of emptiness or low self-esteem.

Person-centred counselling focuses on supporting the client's own capacity for growth by providing acceptance and understanding rather than directing solutions. It can be especially helpful for those facing life changes, commitment or intimacy concerns, and the emotional impact of trauma or abandonment.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michael works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods and styles best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the pace and focus as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and other commitments. For many people, remote appointments increase accessibility and make consistent engagement with a licensed professional more achievable.
