Background and approach

He talks through coping strategies for sleep, managing strong emotions and handling relationship conflicts. With 12 years of experience Otis has developed skills supporting people through grief, trauma and loss, and major life changes.

His background includes work with a wide range of concern areas, including some complex presentations such as dissociation and co-morbidity.

Online support
Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Otis will listen to your goals, discuss different options and adapt methods to suit what you want to achieve. This collaborative process helps ensure the therapy style matches your needs and comfort level.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break or use less bandwidth, live chat is handy for brief check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or travel commitments, and give practical flexibility for different situations.
