How Nigel’s approaches translate to online therapy
Nigel uses Client-Centred Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in straightforward ways. Client-Centred Therapy means the therapist listens closely and follows what matters to the person, helping them feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviours to reduce anxiety and improve mood.He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy when relationship patterns or attachment worries come up. This approach helps people identify strong emotions, understand their impact, and try new ways of relating to themselves and others. Nigel will work with each person to choose the approaches that best fit their goals and situation in a collaborative way.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation when that suits, phone calls can fit a short break or low-bandwidth situation, and messaging is useful for ongoing check-ins or brief reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and everyday life while keeping the focus on practical change and steady progress.
