Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.
Online approaches for practical, trauma‑aware support
Chris works with Client‑Centred Therapy to keep the client's experience central. That means listening carefully, reflecting what is said, and helping the person lead the pace and focus of sessions. This approach helps when someone needs a space to be heard and understood.He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to identify unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and then try small experiments to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood and stress because it links thoughts, feelings and actions in a clear way.
Solution‑Focused Therapy is part of his toolkit for clients who want quick, practical steps. It concentrates on strengths and concrete goals so people can see progress between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and how they react to different methods. Together they can try an approach and adjust it as needed to suit the person's needs and pace.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat and text‑based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls suit longer, face‑to‑face style conversations, while phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a check‑in fits a work break. Live chat and messaging are useful for shorter check‑ins, written reflections or when someone prefers not to use video. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life.
