How Nigel’s approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work looks at how close relationships shape thoughts and feelings. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in relationships, repair trust, and practise new ways of connecting with others. Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s experience and goals, offering a supportive space to talk things through and decide what matters most. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour, such as short tasks between sessions to test new ways of coping.Nigel will work collaboratively to find the best approach. He will discuss options, try methods, and adjust the plan based on what helps most. Deciding on an approach is a joint process that takes the client’s needs, goals and preferences into account.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are held. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can suit shorter check-ins. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for more frequent, brief contact or when writing thoughts feels easier. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
