Therapeutic approaches and online support

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and trust. It helps people who struggle with closeness, abandonment fears, or patterns of push-pull in relationships by exploring relational history and building more secure ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the centre of the process, offering empathic listening and respect so clients can clarify values, strengthen self-understanding and make choices aligned with their own goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood, tackle unhelpful coping habits and change behaviour patterns that get in the way of daily life.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapeutic process. Spencer works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and he adapts the work over time as things shift. This collaborative stance helps clients feel involved in shaping their own care.

Online therapy with Spencer is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family and mobility. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access sessions from different locations and choose the format that feels most comfortable for discussing sensitive topics.
