Therapy approaches and working online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It can help with anxiety, stress and life changes by focusing on living a meaningful life alongside difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers practical techniques to reduce anxiety and change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for panic, social anxiety and obsessive thoughts. Attachment-Based ideas focus on how past and current relationships shape feelings and expectations, helping people understand patterns in close relationships and develop new ways of relating.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The counsellor works collaboratively to identify which methods suit a person's goals and preferences, and will adapt techniques as needs change. Clients and therapist review progress together and choose practical next steps.

If you are considering online work, please confirm the available session formats before booking. Many people appreciate online sessions because they can fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep regular contact. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, or let someone avoid being on camera if they prefer less visual contact. Registered and accredited professionals can use different ways of working online, so check the session options when you arrange your first appointment.
