How Mitchell uses therapy online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then commit to actions that matter to them. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current ways of connecting, and it can help with relationship strain, intimacy issues and attachment difficulties. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical techniques to reduce distress and change unhelpful patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Mitchell will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative.
Confirm which online session formats are available before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life. They can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and suit people who prefer to meet from their own everyday settings. If international arrangements are needed, discuss time zones and scheduling when setting up sessions.
