How narrative and attachment ideas work online
Daniel uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine the stories they tell about themselves and consider alternative narratives that better reflect their values and goals. This approach can be useful for identity concerns, shame, and rebuilding confidence after difficult experiences. He also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns influence current behavior and emotional responses, which helps when people struggle with connection or repeated relationship problems.He approaches treatment as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client decide which approaches make sense based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time so the work stays practical and relevant to day-to-day life.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone can fit shorter check-ins or lower bandwidth, and messaging or chat can provide brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep momentum between meetings.
