Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values and taking committed action toward a more meaningful life. It is often useful for stress, anxiety, and managing life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current ways of connecting, trusting, and coping with closeness. This approach can be helpful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and long-standing attachment issues.
Client-centred therapy emphasises a respectful, empathetic stance from the therapist that encourages self-exploration and personal growth. By offering understanding and non-directive support, it helps clients build self-awareness and find their own solutions.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Dominic works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and he adapts the work as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to engage from different locations and at times that suit them. Registered professionals and therapists can deliver meaningful therapeutic work through these formats, making support more accessible without sacrificing the quality of the therapeutic relationship.
