How Raymond's approaches work online
Raymond draws on psychodynamic therapy to look at patterns that repeat in a person's life and where those patterns may have come from. This approach helps when someone wants to understand deeper roots of anxiety, relationship tensions or recurring behaviours.He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions and then tests small changes. CBT is especially useful for managing anxiety, low mood and specific behaviours like compulsive habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Raymond will talk through your goals and preferences and adapt methods as you go. That collaborative process helps shape sessions so they focus on what you want to change or understand.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into short breaks. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to try different formats to see what helps most.
