Online session options
How narrative and skills-based work translates online
Mmeli blends Narrative therapy with Attachment-based and Client-centred approaches to shape online sessions that feel personal and useful. Narrative therapy helps you tell and reframe the story you carry about yourself, which can change how problems show up. Attachment-based ideas focus on how past relationships influence current feelings and reactions, helping with trust and connection issues. Client-centred work puts your priorities front and centre so sessions follow what you want to address rather than a fixed agenda.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. He will talk with you about your goals and preferences and test different ways of working until you find what fits. That collaborative process means approaches can change over time depending on what helps you make small, practical shifts.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, step-by-step skill coaching or people who prefer typing. These options make therapy easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
