How therapeutic approaches work online
Craig blends Client-Centred Therapy with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in ways that work well online. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and supporting a person to find their own solutions; it helps when someone needs acceptance and space to think aloud. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thoughts and behaviours and offers practical exercises to test different ways of coping; it is useful for anxiety, stress and patterns that keep returning.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Craig will talk through options and adapt methods to suit a person’s goals and preferences. Together they decide whether to focus on present coping, practical skills or deeper meaning and values, and they revisit that choice as therapy progresses.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typed conversation or want ongoing check-ins between calls. These formats help fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and travel.
