How Andrew’s approaches work online
Systemic Therapy looks at how relationships and roles shape problems. It helps when issues involve partners, family interactions or repeated patterns that keep causing stress.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being listened to and understood. The therapist offers supportive, non-judgemental sessions that help people clarify what matters to them and build on their own strengths.
Solution-Focused Therapy aims to find small, practical steps that move things forward. It suits people who want clear goals and short-term progress on specific problems like stress, sleep or work worries.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about their goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped before, and then agree a plan together in a collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, so people can pick the format that fits their life. Video is good for face-to-face conversation, phone can work when bandwidth is lower, chat or messaging can suit quick check-ins or those who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and busy schedules.
