How Kirsty’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages actions that match personal values, which can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions interact. It offers practical strategies to change unhelpful thinking and build coping skills for stress and trauma symptoms.
The therapist will work with the client to decide which approach, or combination of approaches, fits best. That decision is collaborative and can be reviewed as needs change. The aim is to match practical techniques with the client’s goals and day-to-day life.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls suit in-depth conversations and visual connection. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is preferred. Messaging and live chat let clients share between sessions and fit support around busy schedules. This mix gives flexibility while keeping focus on steady progress with the chosen therapeutic approach.
