How Sam’s approaches work for online therapy
Client-centred therapy focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. The aim is to build trust, reflect the client’s experience and support their choices. This approach helps when people need space to work through strong emotions like grief or emptiness.Cognitive behavioural therapy looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical steps and experiments to reduce anxiety or shift low mood. This can be useful for stress, sleeping problems, and patterns linked to codependency or unhelpful coping habits.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss different ways of working and decide together which methods fit the client’s goals and day-to-day life. That decision is collaborative and may change as therapy progresses.
Please confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around daily commitments and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when a brief meeting is preferred or audio-only conversations when less bandwidth is available.
