Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Gary integrates Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside hypnotherapy to meet different needs. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and acceptance, helping people explore their feelings and personal goals in a supportive setting - it is useful for building self-esteem, improving relationships, and finding direction. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, making it practical for stress, anxiety, depression, and patterns that get in the way of daily functioning. Hypnotherapy uses focused relaxation and guided imagery to access resources for managing habits, reducing anxiety, and enhancing motivation.


Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Gary works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.


Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility and accessibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to maintain continuity when circumstances change, and to receive consistent support from a therapist regardless of location.
