Therapy approaches and working online
Simon works from a client-centred base which means sessions begin with listening to what matters most to the person. This approach focuses on the individual's experience and priorities and helps people feel understood before moving to change.Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is used to spot and change patterns of unhelpful thinking and behaviour. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and stressful reactions because it offers clear steps to try between sessions.
Solution-focused therapy concentrates on small, practical goals and what is already working. It helps people build on strengths and make quick, achievable changes when life feels overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Simon will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences. The choice can change over time as progress is made and priorities shift.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow richer face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a busy day, while live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or moments when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to schedule sessions around work, caregiving or travel and to keep continuity when life is busy.
