Therapeutic approaches for online support
Andrea commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and client-centered approaches in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour to reduce distress and improve daily functioning; it is often used for anxiety, depression and difficulties that benefit from structured, skills-based work. ACT combines acceptance strategies with commitment to personal values, helping people cope with difficult emotions while building a meaningful life in line with what matters to them.Client-centered therapy prioritises the client's own perspective and pace, offering empathic support and a non-directive space for self-exploration. Together these approaches allow Andrea to tailor sessions to the needs of each person, using collaborative discussion to decide which methods fit best with a client's goals and preferences. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be agreed with the client over time.
Online therapy with Andrea is offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier to access regular support from a registered professional without needing to travel, and they allow people to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
