These tools are aimed at reducing overwhelm and helping someone handle strong feelings in everyday moments.Another strand of his work helps people regain confidence and purpose. This involves looking at unhelpful thinking patterns, practicing small behavioral steps to build mastery, and setting realistic goals to improve mood and self-esteem. For life transitions he focuses on problem-solving and planning to make change feel more manageable.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the therapy process. Adrian collaborates with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He adjusts the approach over time based on what is helping and what feels workable in day-to-day life.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people meet face to face when that helps build rapport.
