How Gordon’s approaches work online
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to you. It helps when someone needs a calm space to talk about anxiety, sexual concerns or questions of identity. Imago Relationship Therapy looks at how past experiences shape current relating and communication. It can be useful for intimacy issues and improving how people talk about difficult subjects. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and what you want to achieve next rather than lengthy analysis.Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. Gordon will work collaboratively to find what fits your goals, needs and preferences. Early sessions typically clarify concerns and try one or two methods to see what helps most, with the plan adapting as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when bandwidth and time allow. Phone sessions can be simpler when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, flexible scheduling and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and day-to-day routines.
