Online support
Approaches that suit online counselling
Jungian therapy explores personal symbols, dreams and life stories to reveal patterns that shape how someone feels and acts; it can help people facing identity questions, grief or recurring relationship patterns. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening, empathy and building an open relationship so people feel able to speak honestly and make their own choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits.Choosing the right approach is part of working together. Colin will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. He aims to blend methods so sessions match a person's needs rather than sticking to a single model.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls work well for in-depth conversation and seeing non-verbal cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or ongoing written work between conversations. These options make it easier to maintain therapy alongside day-to-day commitments and across different time zones for international clients.
