How therapeutic approaches work in online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unwanted thoughts and feelings without letting them stop valued action. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and motivation by clarifying personal values and small steps toward them.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It uses practical exercises and short tasks to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with low mood, anxiety and sleep problems.

Client-Centred Therapy centres the conversation on the person and their experience. The counsellor offers an accepting, listening space so the client can find their own solutions and direction.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels workable, then try methods that fit the client’s needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are expected as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm available session types before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people connect across regions, which can be helpful for those living outside the therapist's immediate area.
