Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Nicole blends practical therapeutic methods to help people make meaningful changes in their lives. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed and focuses on identifying personal values to guide action - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in intimacy and trust and supports healing around abandonment, attachment issues, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy offers a supportive, empathic space where the individual is treated with unconditional positive regard while therapists follow the client's pace and goals - this approach is useful for building self-esteem and confidence.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Nicole works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts the work as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible fit.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Sessions by video call or phone allow real-time conversations, while live chat and text-based messaging offer more immediate or lower-intensity options for connection. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access registered professionals from different locations, supporting continuity of care and consistent progress.
