Therapeutic approaches and flexible online access
Client-Centred Therapy places the person and their goals at the heart of the work. It focuses on listening with empathy, helping clients explore their feelings and make changes at their own pace, and is useful for relationship issues, self-esteem, and life transitions.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take committed action toward a more meaningful life while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that limit daily functioning.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship experiences shape current patterns of relating and can support work on abandonment, intimacy, and connection difficulties. These approaches are offered with a collaborative stance - the therapist and client work together to find the best fit based on needs, goals, and preferences. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and may evolve as progress unfolds.
Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides practical flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Registered professionals can offer consistent, ongoing support without the need to travel, enabling therapy to fit into daily life while maintaining a collaborative, approach-driven focus.
