How Ronnie’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying values and making mindful choices that match those values. It helps people who feel stuck, overwhelmed by emotions, or unsure about life direction by encouraging small committed actions.

Client-Centred Therapy places attention on listening and understanding the person without judgement. This approach supports building trust, self-awareness and self-compassion, which can be helpful for issues like low self esteem, grief or identity questions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Ronnie will discuss your goals and preferences and suggest techniques that fit your needs. Together you can try different methods and agree on what helps most as work progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to suit different routines. Video is useful for fuller interaction and visual cues, phone calls suit lower bandwidth or hands-free conversations, live chat can work for brief check-ins, and text messaging is convenient for short reflections or when daytime windows are tight. These options aim to make therapy flexible and practical so it can fit around work, parenting or busy days.
