Ways of working Sheldon names

Naming an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor lists and does not check training records.

How different approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small, meaningful actions even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, stress and navigating life changes. Attachment‑based work looks at how early connection shapes relationships now and helps people build safer ways of relating and communicating. Client‑centred therapy focuses on a respectful, non-judgemental listening stance that puts the client’s experience at the centre of sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Sheldon will discuss what matters to the client and try methods that fit goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client check what is helping and adapt the work as they go.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when video is not possible or bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging suits shorter check-ins, people who prefer typing, or those who need therapy that fits into a work break or a busy day. Registered or accredited professionals provide these formats so people can choose what works best for them.
