Nick has a collaborative approach that includes the young person, parents/carers and, if necessary, other services such as schools to develop a shared understanding of the issues of concern and helpful solutions.

He employs techniques that aim to help a young person or parent to develop an understanding of their feelings and ways of thinking so they become better at coping with difficult situations, which ultimately fosters healthy social and emotional development.

The type of approach that Nick employs depends on the developmental age of the young person.
