Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters to them. It uses simple exercises to build flexible ways of responding to stress and to support values‑based choices.Attachment‑Based ideas focus on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and reactions. This approach helps people understand their emotional responses and try different ways of relating to others.
She combines these approaches with client‑centred listening to help people feel heard and to tailor practical steps to their situation. Finding the right approach is part of the work together, and the therapist will discuss goals and preferences to decide what fits best.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow fuller interaction, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check‑in is needed. Live chat and messaging can be useful for brief updates, pacing work between sessions, or when writing things down feels easier.
These options aim to make therapy flexible and accessible for people balancing work, health or caregiving responsibilities, and allow the therapist to adapt methods to each person’s situation.
