How online approaches and Narrative work together
Stefan uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from problems and rewrite difficult life stories. This approach is useful for issues that feel identity-defining, such as shame, grief or long-standing relationship patterns. It creates space to see alternatives and new ways of relating to experience.He also draws on client-centred principles that prioritise listening, warmth and respect. That helps people feel heard and understood while they name what matters most. Cognitive behavioural ideas are used when practical changes to thinking or behaviour would help, for example with anxiety, sleep disturbance or unhelpful coping habits.
Finding the right blend is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to choose approaches that fit their goals and preferences. Together they review what helps and adjust methods as progress unfolds.
Online sessions offer flexibility and accessibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging supports shorter check-ins, written reflection and ongoing contact between longer sessions.
