Background and approach

He draws on a mix of approaches to match what each person needs rather than following a single formula. Over his career he has used Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas to help people change how they respond to difficult thoughts and feelings. He also uses emotionally focused and client-centred methods to repair connection and build self-understanding.

Sessions tend to focus on problem-solving, emotional processing and clearer communication. John has worked with a wide range of concerns including addictions, intimacy-related issues, body image, codependency and the stresses of caregiving. He pays attention to how past relationships and attachment patterns shape current behaviour.

That helps him and the person he’s working with set realistic goals. People who choose him can expect practical tools, reflective conversation and collaborative planning. He offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs.

To begin, users complete a short questionnaire and book according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches are used online

John commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy when working online. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting thought patterns and testing out different behaviours to reduce distress, which helps with anxiety, depression and sleep or eating problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that match their values, which can be useful for stress, worry and coping with life changes.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest which methods to try first. Together they review progress and adjust the plan if something is not helping.

Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer typing or need flexible timing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel.
