Background and approach
His background includes long-term work with people affected by trauma and post-traumatic reactions. John uses practical talking approaches so clients can notice what helps and what gets in the way. In sessions he draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas alongside client-centred listening.
That mix helps people learn new ways to respond to painful thoughts and upsetting memories. He keeps explanations simple and focuses on steps clients can try between sessions. John aims to build a calm, non-judgemental space where people can tell their story at their own pace.
He pays attention to relationships and patterns that influence mood and behaviour. Together with each person he sets realistic goals and checks progress as therapy continues. He offers a direct, warm style and practical tools for coping.
People meet him for both short-term focused work and longer exploration depending on what they need.

How John’s approaches work online and in therapy
John draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. ACT uses mindfulness and values-based steps to reduce avoidance and rebuild meaningful routines.He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) to break down patterns of thinking and behaviour that keep problems active. CBT offers clear strategies such as testing thoughts, changing routines and practising new coping skills between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. John will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy moves forward.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Video lets people see facial cues and talk more naturally, phone calls need less bandwidth and can be easier on the go, while text or chat suits shorter check-ins or ongoing written support. These options make it simpler to arrange sessions around work, care responsibilities or travel and help people keep continuity when life gets busy.
