How Marc's approaches work online
Client-centred counselling focuses on listening and understanding. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said and helps the person make sense of their thoughts and feelings. This approach suits people who want a supportive space to talk and to find their own solutions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. Sessions often include practical exercises and short tasks between meetings to try new ways of coping. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and unhelpful patterns of thinking.
EMDR is used for processing memories tied to trauma. It involves guided techniques that can reduce the intensity of distressing memories and their effects on daily life. It is chosen when traumatic experiences continue to affect current wellbeing.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marc will discuss options together and decide what fits the client's goals and preferences. He adapts methods as progress is made and reviews what is or is not helpful in regular conversations.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for a fuller face-to-face style, while phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or messaging make brief check-ins or paced support possible during the week. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to use around work, family and daily life.
