Therapeutic Approaches and Accessible Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and emotions while identifying personal values to guide meaningful action. It is useful for stress, anxiety, low mood and for building flexible ways of responding to life challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns influence current ways of relating to others, aiming to improve trust, intimacy and emotional connection in relationships and to address attachment-related difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours through practical strategies and skills, and it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, self-esteem and coping with everyday problems.Finding the most helpful approach is part of the work and Joanna will collaborate with each person to identify the best fit based on their needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process allows the therapist and client to adjust methods as understanding deepens and priorities evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility and practical access to support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to book sessions around work, family and other commitments, and to continue therapy when distance or travel would otherwise be a barrier, while working with a registered professional who can tailor treatment to individual circumstances.
