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.
If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Mitchell directly how he uses it and what a session usually looks like.
Online session options
Approaches and online options that suit your life
Mitchell draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe the stories they tell about themselves, separating the person from the problem and looking for different meanings in life events. He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions that match their values. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationships shape current patterns and to build healthier interpersonal habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mitchell will talk with clients about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will try methods that fit. That collaborative process helps decide whether a narrative focus, ACT exercises or attachment work is most useful at any stage.
Online therapy gives practical options for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions are useful when a lighter bandwidth or shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing between or instead of scheduled sessions. These formats make it easier to fit counselling around work, family and travel while keeping therapy consistent and accessible.
