Malcolm brings an integrative approach that draws on Narrative ideas alongside attachment and client-centred ways of working. He also uses cognitive behavioural techniques and relationship skills where those suit the issue.
This blend allows him to tailor sessions to the person rather than apply one fixed method.

Online session options
How narrative and attachment ideas work online
Malcolm uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reframe the stories that shape their lives. This approach looks at the meaning people give to events and helps them experiment with alternative stories that create more choice and agency. Attachment-Based Therapy is also part of his work and helps people understand patterns in close relationships, how those patterns affect feelings, and ways to build safer, more reliable connections.He also draws on Client-Centred Therapy which places the person's experience at the heart of sessions. That means the therapist listens closely, follows the client's lead, and adapts each session to the person's needs. Choosing the right approach is a shared process; together they will try different methods and adjust based on what helps meet the client's goals and preferences.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow visual contact for relational work, phone calls can be shorter check-ins or suit lower bandwidth, and text or chat can fit around busy schedules for regular support. These formats aim to make therapy easier to fit into everyday life while keeping the focus on the work between client and therapist.
