This approach is especially helpful when someone feels stuck or unsure about making a change, including around addictions or lifestyle shifts.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. Philip works with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. He adjusts pacing and tasks so practical steps can be used between sessions.
