Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and when life changes feel overwhelming.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in how people connect with others. It helps identify repeating relationship habits and offers ways to try different responses that can feel safer and more helpful.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical exercises to reduce unhelpful thinking and build new habits. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and stress management.
Choosing a therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences, and will adapt the work as progress is reviewed. Clients are invited to give feedback so sessions stay relevant and useful.
