Background and approach
Together clients set goals and try small, practical steps between sessions to see what makes a difference. He draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address thinking, behaviour and values. Attachment-based ideas are used to look at how past relationships shape current patterns.
This mix supports people coping with social anxiety, intimacy concerns, alcoholism or substance problems, and issues like guilt or shame. John is registered with the Health and Care Professions Council, HCPC. He has five years of professional experience helping people navigate midlife change, divorce, isolation and questions about life purpose.
Sessions are framed around each person’s needs rather than a fixed protocol. For many clients the work is practical and conversational. John encourages honest talk about fears and setbacks.
He helps people build coping skills and clearer choices so everyday life feels more manageable.
How John’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, focuses on values and small actions. It helps people move toward what matters to them even when anxiety or difficult feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to reduce unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. John discusses goals and preferences in early sessions and may combine techniques from different approaches to suit each person. The aim is to find what fits the client’s life and helps them take small, testable steps forward.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, allowing flexible ways to connect. Video is useful for deeper conversational work, phone calls can fit a shorter check-in, and messaging suits brief reflections or day-to-day support. These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, travel or family commitments while keeping focus on practical progress and skills.
