Remote care using client-focused methods
John Trainer integrates Client-Centered Therapy with hypnotherapy and Motivational Interviewing in online work. Client-Centered Therapy provides a space where the person s perspective guides the pace and focus of sessions. Hypnotherapy is offered as a focused, guided technique that can support relaxation and suggestion work when appropriate. Motivational Interviewing is used to explore ambivalence and strengthen the desire to make specific changes. These approaches are presented in a collaborative way so the individual and therapist shape goals together and select methods that fit the situation. Online sessions are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in how conversations take place. The combination of conversational, motivational, and focused techniques can suit people seeking an adaptable process for change and coping during transitions.What is John Trainer s clinical experience?
