Approaches John lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
Online support
His school work with Social, Emotional and Mental Health needs brings practical ways to talk about feelings and regulation. Those insights often help adults reconnect with what matters and make small, realistic changes. Together the client and therapist decide what to try and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful when a fuller conversation and visual contact help. Phone sessions can be easier when less bandwidth is available or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging work well for brief reflections, ongoing check-ins or when writing feels more comfortable.
The therapist will collaborate with each person to find the best mix of formats. This makes therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family life and daily routines, while keeping the focus on what the person needs to work on.
