How Spencer's approaches translate to online therapy
Spencer draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centred therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy as part of his integrative approach. Attachment work looks at how past relationships shape current patterns and helps with intimacy and communication problems. Client-Centred work focuses on listening, acceptance and meeting the person where they are to build self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy offers practical tools to spot unhelpful thoughts and try new ways of coping with anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right blend is part of the therapeutic process. Spencer will work collaboratively to decide which approaches fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. He encourages open conversation about what helps and adjusts methods as therapy unfolds.
If you are considering online work, check the platform process to confirm which session options are available before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. For some people, working remotely helps maintain continuity during life changes and makes regular practice, like mindfulness exercises, easier to include in daily routines.
