Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take small steps toward what matters. It is often useful for stress, anxiety and low mood. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and helps people try out different ways of thinking and behaving to reduce distress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns and can help when attachment issues affect trust and intimacy.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try approaches that fit the person and adjust the plan as needed, keeping the process collaborative and practical.

Online therapy with this counsellor can be done by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from anywhere, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging works for ongoing written reflection. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, travel or busy family life, while allowing continuity when in-person meetings are difficult.
