How David’s approaches can work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard and understood, and it is useful for anxiety, low mood and relationship worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behaviour and introduces practical techniques to change them. It is often used for stress, anxiety and coping with life changes.
Psychodynamic Therapy pays attention to patterns that come from earlier life experiences and how they shape current feelings. It can help people understand repeating relationship patterns and sources of shame or guilt.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together they will decide what methods to try. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to each person's needs.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the session formats available before booking as the biography does not specify formats. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, allow quieter check-ins when time is short, or avoid travel to appointments. Registered or accredited professionals often use online options to make therapy more convenient while keeping the focus on the therapeutic relationship.
