Therapeutic approaches for online support
Amanda uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify their values and build psychological flexibility. ACT involves noticing thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them and taking committed action toward the life someone values - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, low mood, and life transitions.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships. This approach helps people understand attachment-related responses, address abandonment or separation concerns, and work toward more secure ways of relating.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Amanda takes a collaborative stance with each person. She will work with clients to identify the most suitable methods based on their needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine techniques from different approaches to fit the individual.
Online therapy with Amanda is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for people balancing work, study, caregiving, or geographical constraints. These options make it easier to access support from registered professionals and therapists without rearranging major parts of daily life, and they allow sessions to fit around practical commitments while maintaining continuity of care.
