How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It encourages choosing actions that align with personal values, which can help with anxiety, depression and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleeping problems. Client-centred therapy prioritises a non-judgemental, listening stance where the person sets the pace and focus of sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has worked or not worked in the past, then adapt techniques to suit each person. This may mean combining elements from different methods so sessions feel relevant and manageable.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not specify which online or in-person options are used. Many people find remote sessions help fit counselling into busy lives by saving travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or avoiding the need to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can tailor their online work to suit pacing, exercises and practical tasks so therapy fits everyday routines.
