Approaches and Online Support for Personal Change
Client-centred therapy focuses on the individual's experience, offering a compassionate, empathetic space where the person sets the pace and direction of the work - it is helpful for exploring self-esteem, life transitions, and relational concerns. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and unhelpful coping patterns. Psychodynamic therapy explores how past experiences and unconscious patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses, which can be useful for issues like attachment difficulties, recurring relationship problems, and persistent emotional themes.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. James works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the plan as the work progresses so the partnership stays focused and relevant.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place via video calls, over the phone, through live chat, or by text-based messaging - allowing people to access support from home or work and to choose formats that suit their schedules and communication style. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into everyday life.
