Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take committed action toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and motivation-related challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in early relationships and how they shape current relational responses - it can be especially helpful for relationship difficulties, intimacy-related concerns, and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, making it useful for depression, anxiety, and compulsive or avoidance behaviours.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is explored collaboratively. John will work with each client to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, adjusting the plan as the work progresses.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow clients to access registered professionals and therapists from different locations and on varied schedules. These options make it easier to maintain consistency in care and to integrate therapy into busy or changing lives.
