Background and approach

Sessions often include short exercises to practise between meetings. <brHe also brings approaches from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behaviour Therapy. These methods support emotional regulation, values-driven choices and coping after trauma. Liam focuses on small changes people can try straight away.

He has three years of experience working with people with serious mental health needs. That background informs a trauma-aware and respectful way of listening. Liam looks for strengths clients can use to move forward rather than only focusing on problems.

In sessions Liam aims to be relaxed and approachable. He keeps a sense of humour where it helps, and moves at each person’s pace. Practical steps, steady support and clear tools are central to his work.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that reflect their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and making life changes by teaching small, values-based steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour. It gives practical exercises to reduce unhelpful thinking patterns and improve sleep or daily routines. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple awareness skills to reduce rumination and improve emotional calm. These exercises are brief and can be practised between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Liam will discuss goals, preferences and how you react to different methods. He adapts techniques so they fit your needs and the pace you want to move at, making choices collaboratively rather than imposing a single path.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for people with busy schedules or limited travel options. Video calls let you use face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits a quick check-in, and text messaging supports shorter reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to keep continuity, practise skills in real life and fit sessions around work or family demands.
