How Andrew's approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy puts your experience at the heart of the work. The counsellor listens without judgement and follows what matters most to you, helping you make sense of your feelings and choices. This works well for people who need space to be heard and to build their own solutions.Solution-Focused Therapy is brief and practical. It concentrates on what you want to change and on small, achievable steps that move you towards that goal. This approach suits people facing specific problems like sleep issues, coping with life changes or managing stress at work.
Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Andrew will talk with you about your goals, needs and preferences and then suggest methods to try. Decisions are made together and can change as the work progresses.
Online sessions give practical flexibility. Video calls are good when you want face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats help fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on what you want to work on.
