Online session options

How narrative and practical approaches work online

Wayne draws on Narrative Therapy to help people tell a clearer story about their lives and the problems they face. This approach looks at the stories people repeat and invites new meanings, which can help with issues like addiction, feeling empty, and relationship conflicts.

He also uses Client-Centered Therapy to make sessions feel accepting and focused on the person's own goals. This creates space for people to steer the work and decide what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to break down unhelpful thoughts and habits into concrete steps, useful for anxiety, depression, and managing anger.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a shared process. The therapist and client talk about goals and try methods that fit the client's needs and preferences. Techniques can be adjusted over time, and progress is reviewed so plans stay practical and relevant.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation; phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging can be used for brief check-ins, coping skills between sessions, or when scheduling a short break around work. These options offer flexibility to fit therapy into a busy life.
