Approaches that guide online conversations

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low motivation and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for depression, anxiety and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to how early relationships shape current patterns and can help with relationship issues, trust and emotion regulation.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each client about their goals, preferences and daily life to choose or combine methods that fit. Decisions are collaborative and can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed and reduce travel time. It can also let clients use exercises between meetings and practise new skills in their usual routines, while the counsellor and client review progress together.
