Therapeutic approaches and remote care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice their thoughts and feelings with openness and to commit to values-driven actions. It can be helpful for stress, anxiety, low mood and situations where getting unstuck is the priority. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding early and current relational patterns - how connections with others shape expectations and emotional responses - and it is useful for relationship problems, abandonment concerns and attachment-related distress.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Michael collaborates with each person to identify which methods feel most helpful, drawing on clinical experience and the client’s goals and preferences to shape a personalised plan. This process is shared and iterative so the approach can shift as needs evolve.
Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits or those living far from available services. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact, practice skills between sessions and fit therapy into everyday life while working with registered professionals and therapists who can adapt methods for remote delivery.
