Online support options
Therapeutic approaches for online counselling
Gareth frequently uses client-centred work which means sessions begin with open listening and follow what matters most to the person. This approach helps when someone wants to be heard and to make sense of their feelings without pressure to change immediately.He also uses solution-focused therapy to identify small, practical steps that move things forward. This style suits people who want clear, short-term goals for stress, workplace issues, or coping with life changes. Motivational interviewing is used to explore a person's readiness for change and to support shifts in behaviour around addictions, lifestyle or career choices.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Gareth will talk through options with each person and decide together what feels most helpful based on their needs and goals. That collaboration guides how sessions are organised and which techniques are tried first.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging work well for shorter check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, study and daily life while still using the clinical approaches described above.
