How his therapeutic approaches translate online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and on clarifying values to guide small, meaningful actions. This can help with anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. It is useful for anxiety, depression and mood disorder management. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, empathetic relationship where the person’s own goals guide the work; this approach supports emotional exploration and rebuilding self-trust.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that suit a person’s goals, history and preferences. Together they’ll try things and adjust the plan if something isn’t helping.
