Integrative approaches for online therapy and relationship work
Elaine draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy as part of an integrative approach tailored to each person. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful inner experiences, clarify values and take committed steps toward a more meaningful life - it can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and struggles with motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating, helping people understand emotional responses, improve communication and form more secure bonds.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Elaine works with clients to identify goals, preferences and what feels most useful, adjusting methods as therapy progresses so the work fits each person’s needs.
Online therapy sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility. These options make it easier to schedule consistent sessions around work, family and other commitments, and to maintain continuity of care for clients who live abroad or have mobility or travel constraints. Registered professionals like Elaine adapt their methods to these formats to support ongoing progress and accessibility.
