How Jay’s approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values, even when difficult feelings appear. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical ways to spot and test unhelpful thoughts, then try different behaviours to reduce distress and improve daily routines. It often helps with anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds affect current relationships and helps people build healthier patterns of relating, which can aid intimacy and communication issues.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. Jay will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. She checks in as therapy progresses and adapts the work if something doesn’t fit.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing quicker check-ins at a convenient moment. It also gives flexibility for people in different time zones since international clients are accepted. Because specific session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm the exact online or face-to-face options available before booking. The aim is practical: to help sessions sit alongside work, family and other demands so therapy can be sustained over time.
