How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take steps that match their values; it is useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers clear tools to change patterns that maintain distress. Client-Centred work prioritises empathic listening and creating a respectful space where the client sets the pace and direction of the conversation.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Patience will discuss your goals and preferences and experiment with methods until something fits. The therapeutic process is collaborative, with decisions guided by what helps you make meaningful changes day to day.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities or travel. It also allows shorter check-ins when needed, and removes the need to commute so people can use time more flexibly. Registered or accredited professionals, including many therapists, use online meetings to continue therapy with people in different locations.
