Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are accepted.

Agwanihu uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and focuses on practical conversation. He listens to what a person says and helps name patterns that show up in daily life. Then he works with the person to try clearer ways of coping and relating to others.

He aims to make sessions straightforward and direct. Expect focused talk about what feels most pressing, with steps to try between meetings. He pays attention to how relationships and past attachments affect current emotions and behavior.

When working on anger or anxiety he helps people notice triggers and try new responses. For issues like low self-esteem and guilt, he helps people identify critical self-talk and practice different ways of relating to themselves. For relationship concerns he focuses on communication patterns and how to express needs more clearly.

Getting started involves a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time; costs vary by location. Confirm current session options before booking so arrangements match your needs.

How evidence-based techniques are used in remote sessions

Evidence-based therapeutic techniques focus on clear, practical work. For example, with anxiety and anger the approach often involves noticing triggers, testing alternative responses, and practicing coping skills in real life. This helps people reduce reactive patterns and feel more in control of stressful moments.

For issues tied to relationships and attachment the work looks at communication habits and how past attachments influence current behavior. The therapist will help identify repeating patterns and try new ways of speaking and connecting that can reduce conflict and loneliness.

Finding the best approach happens together. The therapist will ask about goals, what has or hasn't worked before, and personal preferences. Then the two of you decide which techniques to try and adjust them as needed over time.

The biography does not specify which session formats are used. Confirm the available session options before booking so they fit your schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Licensed professionals can use remote sessions to keep therapy consistent while you manage daily responsibilities.
