How Clive’s approaches translate to online therapy
Clive commonly uses Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centred Therapy alongside Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. Attachment work looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections, helping with trust, intimacy and relationship difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and empathy, giving people space to be heard and to build self-understanding. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thoughts and behaviours with practical exercises to reduce anxiety and depressive symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clive will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that fit the person. This is a joint process and adjustments are made as understanding grows and needs change.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text are helpful for ongoing reflection, short updates or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around home, work and family life while keeping continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
