Approach-focused support, made accessible online

Gavin Armstrong draws from evidence-informed approaches that can be adapted to a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors influence each other, helping clients identify unhelpful patterns and build practical coping strategies for everyday life.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in relating differently to difficult thoughts and emotions while moving toward what matters most. It can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, and times when life feels stuck or overwhelmed. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, respect, and a strong therapeutic relationship, offering space to explore experiences at a pace that feels manageable.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Gavin works collaboratively with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not been helpful before, then tailors the work accordingly as therapy progresses.

Online therapy makes it easier to access support in a format that fits daily routines. Sessions can take place through video calls or phone sessions, and clients can also use live chat or text-based messaging for added flexibility and continuity between sessions.
