How Dominic uses talking therapies online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on values-based action. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns from early relationships and how they show up now, which can help with intimacy, attachment issues and some relationship challenges. Client-Centred Therapy centres on the persons own perspective and aims to provide empathic listening and acceptance so people can find their own way forward.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Dominic will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and suggest approaches that fit. He aims to make those choices collaboratively rather than imposing a single method.
Online work uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is good for longer conversations and non-verbal cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging suits brief check-ins, ongoing coaching-style support or people who find typing easier. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, travel and family life.
