Background and approach
Conversations are paced to suit each person, with space for reflection and practical steps when they are needed.

Across six years of practice he has supported people with issues such as attachment and communication problems, commitment concerns, dissociation, and the emotional effects of divorce and separation.

How client-centred and mindfulness approaches work online
Ian uses Client-Centred Therapy online by offering warm, non-judgemental listening and responding to what matters most to each person. This approach focuses on understanding a person's experience and helping them find their own solutions to relationship, family or self-esteem problems.He also draws on Mindfulness Therapy to help people notice present-moment thoughts and reduce worrying patterns. Mindfulness techniques can be useful for stress, anxiety and coping with difficult emotions during life transitions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what feels helpful, then adapt methods as work progresses to find the best fit for each client.
Online work is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, chat is helpful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
