Integrative approaches for online support
Geoff combines Attachment-Based ideas, Client-Centred practice and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in his work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand repeated relationship dynamics. Client-Centred work focuses on listening and valuing the person’s experience, giving space to be heard without judgement. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural changes to improve mood and coping.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Geoff will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. He adapts the pace and balance between reflection and practical techniques as sessions progress.
The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week and reduce travel time. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed or sessions that do not require being on camera. Speak with the therapist when you start to agree the practical arrangements that will best suit your routine.
