Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Support



Catherine draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy along with client-centered principles to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, then clarify values and take committed steps toward meaningful goals - it can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships that often originate in early connections, helping clients improve intimacy, communication and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a warm, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client leads the pace of change and the therapist offers empathic understanding to build self-esteem and confidence.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Catherine works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. She aims to adjust techniques and priorities as therapy progresses so the work remains relevant and helpful.

Online sessions - by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for busy schedules and for clients living in different locations. These options make it easier to access registered professionals and to continue therapy through life changes, while choosing the mode that feels most comfortable for each individual.
