How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them take over, and then focus on actions that align with personal values. It can be helpful when anxiety, avoidance or life direction are concerns. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks down patterns of thinking and behaviour into practical steps, offering simple exercises for managing mood and stress. This approach suits issues like anxiety, low mood and unhelpful habits. Attachment-Based Therapy emphasises how early and ongoing relationships shape current patterns, and it can support people working through trust, abandonment or close-relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will chat with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. That decision can change over time as progress and feedback guide the plan.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also help people stick with a series of sessions and apply techniques directly to everyday situations.
