Background and approach
He also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify what matters and take small steps towards those values. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how early relationships influence present struggles. Emotionally focused techniques help people name and regulate strong feelings when they feel overwhelmed.
Erick combines these approaches with a client-centred stance that prioritises listening and working at the person’s pace. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth. Erick helps people set clear, manageable goals and practices to use between sessions.
He supports clients through life changes, trauma recovery, parenting strain, relationship challenges and work-related stress. Erick holds BACP registration, which is shown as BACP. He offers help in English and works with international clients.
People can expect calm, steady support and focused skills-building to manage anxiety and other concerns.
Approaches you can use in online therapy
Erick commonly brings together cognitive behavioural therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to help people with anxiety and low mood. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments, which can reduce worry and avoidance. Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify their values and take small, meaningful steps even when difficult feelings are present.He tailors these methods to each person and sees choosing the right approach as a shared decision. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences, try practical exercises in session and adjust methods over time so the work fits the client’s life.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes counselling easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from different locations. Phone sessions use less data and can be simpler to arrange. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, written reflection and when a shorter format is preferred.
