Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
John commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy, described in accessible terms to help people understand what to expect. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful action while learning to relate differently to distressing thoughts and feelings - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress and low motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how those patterns affect current connections - it is useful for relationship difficulties, attachment concerns and issues around trust and abandonment.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. John works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, and may blend techniques from different approaches as the work evolves.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can happen by video call or phone, and shorter contacts are available via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access consistent support around work, family and travel commitments, and allow registered professionals to tailor both session length and format to what suits the client best.
