Practical therapeutic approaches for online care

Philip draws on established, practical approaches to support clients in online sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathic listening and creating a collaborative space where the client sets the pace and direction of work - it helps people who need a supportive environment to explore thoughts, feelings, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques for identifying unhelpful thinking and changing patterns of behaviour - it is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and stress management. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented style that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen motivation for change, which can be particularly useful for addiction, lifestyle changes, and building new coping strategies.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Philip works together with each client to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and adapts techniques over time so the plan fits the individual rather than forcing a single method.

Online therapy with Philip is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support while accommodating work, family, and mobility considerations, helping people keep momentum in their therapeutic work regardless of location.
