Approach to online therapy and therapeutic methods

Sarah uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take manageable actions even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present; this approach can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes empathetic listening and a nonjudgemental relationship so clients can explore their experiences and find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another practical tool in her work, focused on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that maintain distress and developing alternatives to improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Sarah treats that choice as a collaborative process. She works with each person to consider their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts techniques from these models to fit what feels most useful and manageable.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging offer flexibility for people balancing work, family and other commitments. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from familiar surroundings and access support when in-person appointments are not possible, while working with registered professionals and therapists who can tailor the format to individual needs.
