How different approaches guide online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It supports commitment to values-led actions so daily life feels more meaningful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns to relieve symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used to process distressing memories so they feel less overwhelming and cause fewer symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences and suggest methods that suit your situation. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as therapy progresses.
If you prefer online sessions, check the available formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a daily routine, reduce travel time and allow appointments around work or family commitments. It can also make some types of homework and practical exercises easier to review between sessions. Confirm which session types are offered so you can pick what works best for you.
