Approaches and online care for practical change
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and focuses on identifying values and taking committed action toward a meaningful life - it can be useful for anxiety, depression and life transitions.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how early attachment experiences influence current connections; it supports people working through abandonment, trust and intimacy issues to build healthier relational patterns.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, problem-focused approach that helps clients identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and develop practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety, low mood and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Jo works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. Together they adapt techniques and priorities as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible fit.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments. These options increase flexibility and access, allowing people to engage with registered professionals from different locations while maintaining continuity of care.
