Clinical approaches and online therapy options
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values, learn to accept difficult internal experiences and take committed action toward meaningful goals. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, low mood and difficulties with motivation.Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect emotional regulation, connection and trust in current relationships. It can be helpful for people dealing with attachment issues, intimacy difficulties and family conflict.
Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the center of the work, emphasising empathy, unconditional positive regard and collaborative pacing. This approach supports growth, self-acceptance and the development of interpersonal skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sam works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy with registered professionals offers flexible ways to engage - video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to schedule sessions around work, family and other commitments. These options support ongoing access to therapists and allow care to continue even when in-person meetings are not feasible.
