How her approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on personal values and small actions that move someone toward a more meaningful life, which can help with anxiety, low mood and major life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It can help people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and develop safer ways to connect and communicate.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist starts by listening and then suggests techniques from these approaches that match the person’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans are adjusted as progress is made.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat or text messaging to give more options for fitting therapy into a busy life. Video calls suit in-depth conversations and reading non-verbal cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat allows quick check-ins and text messaging supports shorter or ongoing reflections between appointments. These formats aim to make it easier to attend and to practise skills between sessions.
