More about Ian

  • 3 years' experience
  • Male
  • BACP

As a therapist, my focus is on supporting each client as a unique individual and finding a way of working that best meets their needs. I take a client-centred, empathic approach, providing a safe and non-judgemental space in which clients can fully explore their thoughts, feelings and sense of self. Positive outcomes are key to how I work, with a focus on helping each client to meet their therapeutic goals and achieve lasting personal change and development.

I am a qualified therapist with 3 years' experience who has trained in an integrative approach, which means that I combine different theories: psychodynamic, person-centred, and cognitive behavioural therapy. This enables me to provide a tailored approach to meet individual client needs. As a member of the BACP, I adhere to their ethical framework in order to work legally and safely to the benefit of clients.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.

Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
