How Clive’s approaches can work online
Clive lists Attachment-Based, Client-Centred and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) among his approaches. Attachment-based work looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice how early bonds affect their current reactions. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening, empathy and helping the person find their own solutions. CBT breaks down unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and offers practical exercises to change them.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Clive will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's goals and preferences. Together they can adjust the focus as progress is made and as different concerns come up.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life, allowing shorter check-ins between commitments or sessions that avoid travel. Online work can also make it simpler to include practical exercises and homework between meetings, and to continue support when life circumstances change.
