Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Nicholas combines Narrative Therapy with client-centred listening and cognitive behavioural techniques. Narrative Therapy helps people tell and reframe their life stories so unhelpful patterns stand out less. Client-centred work focuses on listening and following what matters most to the person. CBT offers clear tools for managing thoughts and behaviours, which can reduce day-to-day symptoms and improve routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful for a full face-to-face style meeting, while phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or messaging can be better for shorter check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options give flexibility for people in different time zones and with varying schedules.
