How Jay’s approaches suit online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters to them and take small, value-based steps. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions where direction feels unclear. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses simple experiments to test new ways of coping. It can help with mood, worry and unhelpful patterns of behaviour. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the way relationships shape feelings and expectations, and can help when past relationship patterns affect current connections.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jay will discuss your needs and goals and choose methods together. That means therapy is tailored - combining listening, practical exercises and steps you can try between sessions.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to join sessions from different locations, fit appointments around work, or use shorter check-ins when time is limited. It also allows people to work with therapists who practise in the United Kingdom while living elsewhere, which can help when international access is important.
