About Raymond

How his approaches translate to online work
Psychodynamic therapy looks at how past relationships and recurring patterns shape current feelings and behaviour. Online sessions can give space to notice those patterns and reflect on what keeps them going, which helps with long-standing relationship or intimacy issues.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Delivered online, CBT often uses brief exercises, homework and clear tools to reduce anxiety, manage low mood or change addictive routines.
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore ambivalence about change and to build internal motivation. In an online setting this can be used to support people trying to reduce or stop process addictions, substance use or other repeated behaviours.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not worked before, then agree a plan together. That collaborative decision may combine elements from different approaches depending on needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can help fit therapy around everyday life - it can make shorter check-ins easier, remove travel time and allow sessions from a quieter space or during a break at work. Registered and accredited professionals often use online sessions to offer consistent contact alongside in-person care when appropriate.
