Approaches James lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Existential approaches and online support
Existential therapy focuses on questions of meaning, choice, and responsibility. It helps people who feel stuck or overwhelmed by life transitions, grief, or persistent anger by clarifying values and identifying steps that match what matters to them.In online sessions the therapist uses conversational inquiry to help clients notice patterns and decide on practical changes. That work can include setting small, concrete goals, trying new behaviors between sessions, and revisiting what is most important as priorities shift. The process is collaborative and paced to the client’s needs and comfort.
Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging works well for ongoing support between meetings. These options make scheduling more flexible and can help fit therapy into a busy life.
