Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions. It uses practical exercises to test unhelpful thoughts and build new coping skills, which can be useful for depression, anxiety and stress.
Ellie treats finding the right approach as a joint task. She will discuss different methods and adjust the mix based on a person’s goals, day-to-day life and what feels most useful. The aim is to build a plan together rather than following a fixed script.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be shorter and fit into a work break, while live chat or messaging suits people who prefer typing or need a lower-bandwidth option. These formats give practical flexibility so people can keep therapy going around work, caring duties or travel.
