Approaches for Online Therapy and Practical Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people clarify their values and learn ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed actions toward what matters. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress and life transitions by focusing on meaningful steps rather than trying to eliminate unwanted feelings.

Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and gentle reflection so clients can explore their experiences and discover their own solutions. This approach is useful for building self-esteem, processing grief and improving relationships.

Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on strengths and practical steps to move forward, emphasizing small, achievable changes that build momentum. It supports people who want clear strategies for dealing with low confidence, career challenges and everyday coping.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process - Cathy works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences. Registered professionals tailor sessions and adapt techniques over time so the work remains relevant and useful.

Online therapy offers flexible access to support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family or other commitments. These options can increase accessibility, help maintain continuity of care during life changes, and allow people to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
