Online support
He also draws on mindfulness techniques to help people notice thoughts and bodily sensations in the moment. Mindfulness can be useful for anxiety, stress and managing intense emotions. Solution-focused methods feature short-term goal-setting and identifying small changes that make a noticeable difference between sessions.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. Shaun will discuss different ways of working and try methods that suit the person's needs and preferences. He asks for regular feedback so the work can be adjusted and kept relevant to the goals set together.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow visual cues and fuller conversation, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit a quick check-in and text-based messaging works for ongoing support and shorter exchanges. These options help people fit therapy around work, caregiving and other commitments while keeping a steady course of support.
