Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take values-based action even when difficult thoughts and feelings are present. It combines practical skills with a focus on acceptance and committed steps toward meaningful goals, often useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections and emotional responses. This approach can be especially helpful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and experiences of abandonment or complex family dynamics.
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, emphasising empathetic understanding and unconditional positive regard so clients can discover their own solutions and strengths. It is well suited to building self-esteem, processing loss, and navigating major life changes.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Barbara will work collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit best with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to access registered professionals from different locations and at different times. These options can reduce travel time, allow for more regular contact, and make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life while maintaining continuity of care.
