How Alex uses different therapies in online sessions
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. It helps people feel heard and examined at their own pace, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and relational worries.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviours and tests small changes to improve mood and daily routines. It can be helpful for sleep problems, anxiety, depression and managing stress.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches short practices to stay present and reduce reactivity; this often supports coping with overwhelm, cravings and anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and life demands and recommend where to start, then adjust methods as sessions progress in collaboration with the client.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it simpler to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow a quicker check-in when needed. It also makes it easier to continue sessions during life changes while still working on practical coping skills.
