Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Philip uses client-centred therapy to place the person's own experience and goals at the heart of the work - this approach focuses on empathy, active listening, and supporting each person to find their own solutions, and it is often helpful for issues like grief, relationship strain, and feelings of emptiness.He also uses cognitive behavioural therapy or CBT, which involves identifying unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour and developing practical strategies to reduce anxiety and low mood. CBT can be particularly useful for stress, panic, and depressive symptoms.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Philip works collaboratively with people to decide what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they may blend elements from different approaches to create a tailored plan.
Online therapy with a licensed professional offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging make it easier to work around appointments, reduce travel, and access support from a familiar place. These options allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care and adapt how they meet depending on what works best for the person.
