Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

Therapeutic approaches and online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful steps even when emotions are hard. It is useful for anxiety, stress and motivation problems. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns and reduce distress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and helps people build more supported ways of relating and managing conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and will adjust the plan as progress is made in sessions.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation when bandwidth allows. Phone sessions can fit into a busy day or be easier when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are good for ongoing support between sessions or when written reflection helps. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact and to fit therapy around work and family commitments.
