Timothy Holton , BACP

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience first. In practice this means the counsellor listens closely, reflects what he hears and follows the client’s lead to find helpful insights. This approach suits people wanting a supportive space to talk through low mood, stress or relationship worries.

EMDR, or Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, is used to address traumatic memories and the distress they cause. It involves guided tasks that help reduce the intensity of painful recollections and the emotions attached to them. Timothy offers EMDR alongside other methods when it fits the client’s needs.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and on what is already working. Sessions highlight achievable goals and short-term strategies that people can try between meetings to improve sleep, coping and day-to-day functioning.

Choosing the best approach is usually a joint decision. Timothy will discuss different ways of working and help the client decide what feels most useful for their situation and goals. Plans can be adjusted as progress is made.

Online formats offer flexibility and easier access. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work when video is difficult or bandwidth is low, and chat or text messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments, while still receiving consistent support.
