How Bennett’s Approaches Work Online

Evidence-based techniques such as cognitive approaches and mindfulness are often used in his online sessions. Cognitive approaches focus on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help manage stress and stay present.

He also uses biofeedback and hypnosis when appropriate to support symptom regulation and behavior change. Biofeedback helps people notice how their body responds to stress and learn small habits to change those reactions. Hypnosis is offered as a guided method to focus attention and strengthen coping strategies for issues like sleep, anxiety, or habit change.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. He works with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level, and adjusts as progress is made. Sessions are collaborative and practical, with clear steps to try between meetings.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people work face to face from different places. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging offer short, flexible check-ins and written reflections that can fit around work or family commitments.
