Therapeutic approaches and online care
Emma draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered principles to guide online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then committing to actions that reflect personal values - this can help with anxiety, stress, and finding direction during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, offering practical tools for issues such as low mood, anxiety, and coping with difficult situations. Client-Centred Therapy emphasises empathy, non-judgmental listening, and creating a supportive space so that people feel heard and empowered to explore their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the process and Emma works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit best with their goals, needs, and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt the plan as required, so therapy evolves in response to what is most helpful.
Online sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people juggling work, family, or mobility concerns. These options make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals and therapists without the need to travel, allowing therapy to fit more readily into daily life.
