Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Robert often uses Narrative Therapy to help people look at the stories they tell about themselves and change unhelpful patterns. In simple terms this means naming the problem story, noticing its effects, and exploring alternate storylines that fit a person's goals and values.He also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which centers the sessions on the person's priorities and pace. This approach supports people who need empathy, listening, and space to find their own answers. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, appears in sessions as concrete exercises to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors when someone wants problem-focused work.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist and client decide collaboratively which methods to try, based on goals, preferences, and how a person responds. Plans are adjusted over time so the work stays relevant.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is useful when seeing facial cues matters, phone calls work well with lower bandwidth, chat or text can fit quick check-ins, and messaging supports people who prefer written reflection. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and keep progress moving between appointments.
