How Michael uses online therapy and therapeutic approaches
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people notice and name their feelings and how these shape close relationships. This approach can be useful for people struggling with relationship patterns, communication problems, or feelings of disconnection. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic and obsessive thinking.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Michael will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and day-to-day needs, then agree a plan together. That plan can mix techniques from different approaches so it fits the person rather than the other way round.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and guided exercises. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who find writing easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while working with registered or accredited professionals.
