How Chris's approaches work in online therapy

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard and helps build trust before making changes.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It helps identify unhelpful thinking and introduces small practical tasks to reduce anxiety, low mood or unhelpful behaviour.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on realistic goals and what works now. It is useful for setting short-term targets and noticing small improvements over time.

Finding the best approach is a shared task. Chris will work together with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. He often combines listening, skill-building and goal-setting rather than using a single fixed method.

Online sessions make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when you need a quick check-in. Live chat or text-based messaging suits people who prefer writing, want brief updates, or need flexible timing. These options aim to make regular work on emotional issues more manageable and consistent.
