Therapeutic approaches for online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then focus on actions that reflect personal values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and situations where changing thoughts entirely feels unrealistic.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and gently tests them through practical exercises, offering structured tools for managing mood, anxiety, and patterns that contribute to distress.
Client-Centered Therapy prioritises the person’s own experience, offering empathy and non-judgmental listening so individuals can explore what matters to them and find their own solutions. It can support relationship issues, self-esteem, and adapting to life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Mairi will work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the mix of techniques as the work progresses rather than prescribing a single path.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy around work, family, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from home or on the go while working with registered professionals and therapists.
