He has three years of experience working with a broad set of concerns. Additional focus areas include issues such as abandonment, communication difficulties, caregiver stress, chronic illness and disability, and fatherhood issues. Hearing-impaired clients are also listed among the areas he can address.

Approaches and online therapy options
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on understanding the person's experience through empathic listening and reflection. It helps when someone needs to feel heard, understood and accepted while they work through emotions and decisions.Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and on building solutions rather than dwelling on problems. It is useful for people who want clear goals and short-term progress with everyday challenges like stress, career choices or relationship issues.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to use and adjust the plan as things change so the work stays relevant and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make counselling more flexible. Video calls suit conversations that benefit from visual cues. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setting is needed. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection between sessions. These options help fit therapy around work, caregiving and everyday life.
