Online session options
How Kingsley uses talking therapies online
Online sessions often draw on Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reframe the stories that affect their mood and choices. Narrative work looks at how events are organised into a story and then explores alternative plotlines that better match a person's values and goals.He also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) which focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that matter. ACT can help when anxiety, grief or low mood stop people doing what they value. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to understand how early relationships shape present patterns in close connections and to try different ways of relating when old responses no longer help.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Kingsley treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will check in about what feels most useful. Together you will shape goals, try methods in-session and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and shared exercises. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, flexible scheduling and keeping work going between longer sessions.
