Online session options
How narrative work and focused therapies translate online
Kendrick draws on Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they face. This approach looks at the story someone tells about their life and then opens up new ways of describing difficult events and relationships. Narrative work is often useful for issues like identity, attachment worries, and repeated relationship patterns.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Client-Centered Therapy. ACT helps people clarify values and build small actions that match those values while learning to sit with uncomfortable feelings. Client-Centered work means the therapist follows the client's lead, prioritizing empathy and respect as people figure out what matters most.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Kendrick treats approach selection as a team effort, adjusting methods to fit a person's needs, goals, and comfort. He may blend narrative techniques with ACT or client-centered listening depending on what a client wants to try.
Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video lets people work face-to-face from different locations. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and messaging allow brief check-ins, reflections between sessions, or a way to fit work on goals into a busy day. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit around work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
