How Abigail uses therapeutic approaches online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match their values. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, focuses on how thoughts and behaviours affect emotions; it uses practical exercises and experiments to change unhelpful patterns and is commonly used for stress and depression. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions, offering empathic listening and support so people can find their own answers.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Abigail will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest which methods might help most. Choices are reviewed together as therapy progresses so the approach can be adjusted when needed.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for deeper conversation and visual connection. Phone can be an easier option when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and messaging suit short check-ins or when someone prefers writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
