Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Terence offers online therapy that draws from Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Psychodynamic Therapy to address emotional and relational concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current bonds and helps people develop more secure ways of connecting, which can be useful for relationship struggles and attachment-related distress. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on meeting clients with empathy and nonjudgmental understanding so they can explore their values and goals and build confidence in their own decisions. Psychodynamic Therapy looks at underlying patterns and unconscious influences that affect behavior and relationships, helping clients gain insight into recurring difficulties and make intentional changes.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - Terence works together with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the work as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps tailor sessions to immediate concerns while also addressing deeper patterns over time.

Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and integrate therapy into a busy life.
