Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Nigel commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), along with client-centered principles, to guide online work. ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and feeling stuck. CBT helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through practical strategies and exercises, often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and a supportive therapeutic relationship, creating space for clients to explore their concerns at their own pace.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Nigel collaborates with each person to identify which methods suit their needs, goals, and preferences, and may adapt techniques over time to find the best fit.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access therapy from home or on the go. This flexibility can help people fit therapy into busy schedules and maintain continuity of care while working toward practical changes and emotional wellbeing.
