Approaches that guide online sessions
Peter blends approaches to suit what each person needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while taking steps that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with major life changes.Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationships affect current bonds and intimacy. This approach can help when relationship patterns, trust or closeness feel difficult. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours through practical exercises and clear steps, which can help with depression, anxiety and trauma reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Peter will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. He aims to agree a plan that feels doable and relevant to the client’s life.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. Video allows face‑to‑face conversation, phone can be a good low‑bandwidth option, live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check‑ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments, while helping maintain continuity of care with registered or accredited professionals.
