How Anthony uses therapy methods online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then to take small actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, low mood and life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and testing new ways of coping, which is useful for anxiety, depression and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build different ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Anthony will talk through options and agree a plan based on a person's needs, goals and preferences. Therapy is collaborative - aims are set together and reviewed as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visible cues, phone works when video is difficult, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging allows ongoing support between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, childcare and travel.
