About Oliver

How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions

Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the session. The therapist listens without judgement and helps the client make sense of feelings and choices, which can suit issues like low self-esteem, grief and attachment concerns.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on unhelpful thinking and day-to-day behaviour. It breaks problems into manageable steps and offers practical techniques for anxiety, depression and stress management.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on patterns in close relationships and how feelings are expressed. It can be useful for people who want to understand and change how they connect with others.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try a few methods and adjust the way sessions run based on what helps most. Clients and therapist work together to choose techniques that feel right and useful.

Online therapy with this counsellor can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video is helpful for a fuller conversation, phone works when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and chat or messaging can fit into busy days or be used for brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical change.
