How his approaches work for online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the client's own experience. The therapist listens closely, follows what matters to the client, and helps people find their own solutions. This approach can be useful for anxiety, low self-esteem and relationship worries where a trusting therapeutic relationship matters.Existential Therapy looks at choices, meaning and personal responsibility. It helps people facing life changes, questions about direction, or feelings of emptiness. This approach can support work on purpose, commitment issues and coping with major transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stuart will talk with each person about their goals and preferences. Together they decide which ideas and methods to try and adjust the plan as things progress.
The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm which online options are available before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, keep appointments from a different town or country, and reduce travel time. Some formats are better for shorter check-ins, while others suit longer conversational work. Registered or accredited professionals can usually adapt sessions to practical needs and daily routines.
