Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take values-driven steps forward. It is often used to address anxiety, stress, and difficulties with motivation or avoidance.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a nonjudgmental space where the person is accepted and heard; the therapist follows the client’s pace and priorities to build self-understanding and self-direction. This approach can help with self-esteem, decision-making and recovery from painful experiences.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for managing strong emotions, anger, relationship challenges and patterns of impulsive behaviour.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Steven works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods feel most relevant to their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts his style over time as progress unfolds.
Online sessions - via video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - offer practical flexibility for people juggling work, family or geographical distance. These options make it easier to maintain regular contact with registered professionals and to fit therapy into everyday life while preserving continuity of care.
