How Jude's approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes by focusing on meaningful steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build safer ways of relating to others. It is useful for intimacy, abandonment and communication issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours, offering practical strategies to try between sessions for problems like depression, sleep and unhelpful routines.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jude talks with people about their goals and tries methods that fit their needs and preferences. She adapts tools from different approaches so the work stays relevant to everyday problems rather than following a single formula.
If you are considering online therapy, check the current session formats before booking. Confirmed formats will be listed when you book; if unsure, ask about what is available. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments around family, work or study, allow shorter check-ins, and reduce travel time. Many people find the flexibility helps them keep therapy consistent while dealing with day-to-day responsibilities.
