How different approaches can work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful steps even when feelings are difficult. It helps people stuck in avoidance or struggling with low motivation to move toward what matters. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in relationships and early connections to understand current fears and reactions, which can be useful for intimacy, abandonment and codependency issues. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises warmth, non-judgemental listening and following the client’s pace, helping people feel heard and build self-trust.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Hamida will discuss goals and preferences and try methods that match the person’s needs. She adapts therapy over time, combining skills practice, values work and relational understanding so sessions remain practical and relevant.
