Background and approach
Relationship and intimacy difficulties are a common focus, along with grief, trauma and compassion fatigue. He also supports people dealing with addictions, bipolar disorder and ADHD, and those facing eating or sleeping problems. Quentin combines client-centred listening with Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and solution-focused techniques when useful.
He aims to build a simple structure around identity, values and clear goals so progress can be measured. Existential ideas help when people are weighing meaning and life choices. Sessions are conversational and practical.
People can expect to explore patterns, try small experiments between sessions, and review what worked. The emphasis is on what makes sense for each person and what helps in everyday life. Quentin works from the United Kingdom and offers sessions in English.
He has experience with international clients and adapts his approach to fit individual needs and circumstances.

Bringing client-centred and practical approaches to online therapy
Quentin often uses Client-Centred Therapy, which means he focuses on listening, understanding your concerns and helping you find your own solutions. This approach suits people who want to explore feelings, identity and personal values at their own pace.He also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy or CBT to help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small, structured experiments. CBT is useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and coping with day-to-day challenges. Solution-Focused Therapy is another tool he draws on to set clear, short-term goals and build on what already works for you.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. Quentin will discuss options with each person and decide collaboratively which methods fit the individual's goals and preferences. He adapts the plan over time based on what is effective and what the person wants to achieve.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video calls suit deeper conversations, phone sessions can be more flexible when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat is useful for brief check-ins or ongoing support. These options let people access therapy across time zones and from different locations, while keeping the focus on clear goals and practical steps.
