Narrative Therapy in this listing
Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how he works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

Online session options
How Narrative and ACT inform online care
Edward blends Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to guide online sessions. Narrative Therapy helps people separate themselves from painful problems by examining the stories they repeat. It can be useful for grief, shame, and identity questions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on what matters most to a person and builds small actions toward those values while learning to sit with difficult feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Edward will collaborate with clients to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. He tailors the mix of Narrative and ACT strategies to each person, checking in regularly about progress and what feels useful.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visuals help. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can support short check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing contact between longer sessions. These options make it easier to get consistent care while balancing work, caregiving, or travel.
