Evidence-Informed Approaches for Online Therapy

Sarah "Sian" Welch uses approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people make practical changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying personal values, increasing psychological flexibility, and helping people take meaningful action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often helpful for stress, anxiety, avoidance patterns, and issues that involve conflicted values.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, emphasises identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. CBT provides concrete tools for managing symptoms of anxiety and depression, improving sleep, and reducing compulsive or addictive behaviours by teaching skills for problem solving and behavioural change.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sarah works collaboratively with clients to explore their needs, goals, and preferences, and together they decide which methods are likely to be the best fit. This shared planning helps ensure therapy is relevant and practical for each person.

Online therapy offers flexible access to sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing clients to engage from different locations and to choose formats that suit their schedules and comfort levels. These options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care while fitting therapy into busy lives.
