Myke offers one-to-one therapy, and sees people with concerns about relationships, LGBT issues, adoption and fostering, and other life transitions. Sessions are offered in English and can be done remotely by video, phone, chat or text messaging. Therapy can be short term or open ended, depending on what a person needs and the goals agreed together.
Therapeutic approaches and online support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when people struggle with trust, closeness or overwhelming reactions in relationships by exploring connection and emotional safety. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together. It offers practical tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and build coping strategies for anxiety, low mood and stress.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through options with clients and agree a plan together based on their needs and goals. That decision is flexible and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make meetings easier to fit into life. Video is useful for in-depth work and visual cues, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and chat or messaging can help with brief reflections between meetings. These options give practical flexibility while keeping the focus on the therapeutic work and agreed goals.
