Background and approach
These qualifications inform a thoughtful, evidence-aware approach. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a fixed method. He draws on Client-Centred ideas to bring warmth and emotional support.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used when people want practical ways to manage thoughts and behaviours. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people reconnect with what matters to them and build small, value-led steps. Jolian also uses mindfulness practices and psychodynamic ideas to notice patterns that repeat in relationships and daily life.
In conversation he aims to slow things down, make sense of what feels overwhelming, and try manageable changes. The work is collaborative and paced to what feels possible. Practical help often includes short exercises between sessions, clearer routines for sleep and stress, and coaching-style conversations about career and role pressures.
He has experience in frontline services across England and Wales, which shaped his focus on emotional labour and responsibility.

Sessions & fees
Approaches that suit online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters to them and take small steps towards those values. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, low mood, and people wanting to reconnect with purpose. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on practical tools to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and managing mood swings. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the person is heard and supported; it helps people feel held while they work through difficult feelings.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the person's life and pace, adjusting the approach as needed in an open, collaborative way.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexible options. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be used when bandwidth is limited, live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments, or mobility limitations while keeping the focus on steady progress.
