Approaches that guide online therapy
Waverley works with client-centered therapy, which places the client’s perspective at the heart of each session and supports self-exploration, self-worth and improved relationships through empathic listening and collaboration. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, another core approach he uses, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety, depression and stress-related symptoms. Solution-Focused Therapy complements these methods by concentrating on practical goals and immediate steps clients can take to manage life changes and resolve pressing difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Waverley will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan over time to reflect progress and changing priorities.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to access this support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, offer continuity when in-person appointments are difficult, and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
