How his approaches are used in online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then take actions that match their values. ACT can be useful for anger, anxiety and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT often helps with anger, depression and anxiety. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship experiences shape current reactions and can be helpful when relationship and intimacy issues are part of the problem.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. The therapist will explore your goals, preferences and history, and then suggest a path that fits. That choice is reviewed over time so sessions stay relevant and useful.
If you are considering online work, confirm the session formats before booking as the biography does not list specific options. Online formats can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They can also let people use video or phone depending on what suits them that day. Talk with the therapist about which option would best suit your needs and routine.
