Working online with different therapeutic approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, looks at how thoughts and feelings interact with actions. It helps people notice unhelpful patterns, choose values that matter to them, and practise small steps that match those values. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thinking and everyday habits. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, EFT, invites people to identify and work with core emotional responses that affect relationships and intimacy.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together you will try methods that suit your needs and adjust the plan as you learn what helps most.
Please confirm which online session formats are available before booking, as the profile does not specify them. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, avoid travel time and keep continuity when schedules change. It also supports shorter check-ins or longer conversations depending on what you need, and lets people work through day-to-day habits from where they are living without changing who they are working with.
