Approaches for Online Support and Personal Growth
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take practical steps toward those values while accepting difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and issues that recur despite repeated attempts to avoid them. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's own experience at the centre of the work - the therapist offers empathy, nonjudgemental understanding and support to help people explore their feelings, identity and relationships and to build self-directed change. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple practices for staying present with thoughts, emotions and bodily sensations; these techniques can help with stress regulation, rumination, and increasing awareness in everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Leo works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods feel most helpful given their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts techniques over time so the work remains relevant and practical. Registered professionals aim to tailor the pace and focus to each person rather than applying a fixed model.
Online therapy offers flexibility and access - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and location. These formats allow regular contact and a range of ways to communicate, making it possible to continue meaningful therapeutic work even when in-person meetings are not convenient.
