Online support
How Orlando’s approaches translate to online work
Orlando blends Systemic, attachment-based and client-centred ways of working so online sessions feel purposeful and clear. Systemic thinking looks at patterns in relationships and how they affect daily life, helping when problems repeat across different relationships. Attachment-based work pays attention to early bonds and how they shape trust and intimacy, which can be useful for relationship and anxiety issues. Client-centred counselling places the client’s goals and priorities at the centre and shapes sessions around what they say matters most.Finding the right approach is something he does together with each client. Early sessions are used to agree goals, choose methods that fit the issue, and adjust the plan as progress is made. This collaborative process helps keep the work relevant and practical for real-life changes.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets you use visual cues and longer conversations, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility so therapy can fit around work, family and travel.
