Jon Treanor, BACP

Jon uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on problem-solving and practical change. One common approach is goal-focused work that breaks problems into small, manageable steps and builds useful skills for day-to-day life; this helps with stress, mood and coping with change. Another approach emphasises coaching-style conversations that clarify values, identify obstacles and create actionable plans for career or relationship decisions. These methods are straightforward and aim to produce noticeable shifts in routine and thinking.

Choosing the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through your concerns, goals and preferences and decide together which methods to try first. That shared decision-making means the work can be adjusted as progress is made or new priorities emerge.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people. Video calls let you see facial cues and use screen-shared exercises, while phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, journalling between sessions or when typing feels easier than talking. These formats increase flexibility, making it simpler to keep continuity of care across busy schedules and different locations.
