Therapeutic approaches and working online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, depression and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying practical strategies to shift behaviour and mood. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being heard and understood, giving space for people to tell their story and find their own direction.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals, needs and preferences. That might mean combining techniques from ACT, CBT and client-centred work to create a plan that feels practical and realistic.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to maintain continuity when life gets unpredictable, and the therapist will discuss how to structure sessions to suit everyday routines and goals.
