Therapeutic approaches for online and remote work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck by them, and to take actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life change. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions link together and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms and change unhelpful habits. It often helps with anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and building a strong working relationship so people can find their own solutions; it supports self-confidence and longer term personal growth. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will try methods that suit the individual. This means sessions can change over time as goals evolve. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow people to speak from different locations. If you prefer shorter check-ins, less time on camera or more flexible scheduling these practical options can be discussed. Please confirm the available session formats before booking so arrangements match your needs.
