Online support options
Approaches that suit online counselling
Chris uses attachment-based work to explore how past relationships shape current patterns. This approach looks at connection styles and helps people understand why certain relationship problems repeat, which can be useful for intimacy, commitment and abandonment concerns.He also works in a client-centred way that places the person’s experience at the centre of the session. This method focuses on listening, acceptance and building trust so people feel able to name difficult thoughts and feelings and decide what matters most to them.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Chris will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences, and adapt methods as therapy progresses. The choice of technique is collaborative and can change over time depending on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy lives or those who prefer not to travel. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing body language matters, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit brief check-ins or when typing helps express difficult thoughts. These options make it easier to fit counselling around work, caring duties and other commitments.
