Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It focuses on small steps and practical skills to live a meaningful life despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches tools to change patterns that cause distress. It is often used for anxiety, depression and stress. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method used to process disturbing memories and reduce their emotional intensity, and it can be helpful for people with traumatic experiences.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Esra will talk with the person about their needs, goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. That collaborative process means the plan can change as progress is reviewed.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - meetings can avoid travel, fit into a lunch break, or be scheduled when work or childcare allows. Different methods can be adapted for remote work, and exercises or tasks can be agreed to practise between sessions to reinforce progress.
