Therapeutic approaches and online care with Carol Gordon
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then to commit to actions that reflect their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and difficulties with motivation and life direction). Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing a supportive, empathetic environment in which clients can explore their experience and develop self-understanding; it is helpful for building self-esteem, addressing relationship and identity concerns, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new, practical strategies to change behaviours and emotional responses - it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with ADHD-related challenges.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Carol collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the plan over time so therapy remains relevant and effective. This collaborative process helps clients feel involved in their own progress.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can take place by video call or phone, or through live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy schedules and to access registered professionals from home or work. These options allow continuity of care and give clients multiple ways to communicate based on what feels most comfortable and useful for them.
