Therapeutic approaches and online care

Emily commonly uses third-wave cognitive behavioural approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them and supports living in line with personal values. She also draws on psychodynamic ideas to explore long-standing patterns and relational themes that can underlie current difficulties, helping clients understand how past experiences influence present responses. When helpful, humanistic-influenced work focuses on empathy, collaboration, and the person’s own strengths to foster growth and self-understanding.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Emily works with each person to identify goals, preferences, and practical needs and adjusts methods over time so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a single model.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from home or other familiar places. These options provide flexibility in scheduling, allow for continuity when travel or mobility are a concern, and enable different ways of communicating to suit what feels most comfortable for each person.
