Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and focuses on clarifying personal values to guide meaningful action. It is often used for anxiety, stress, low motivation, and managing life transitions.Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in connections and emotional responses, helping people improve trust, intimacy, and relational boundaries. This approach can be valuable for relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and experiences of abandonment or adoption-related concerns.
Sylvia approaches treatment collaboratively and recognises that finding the right method is part of the work. She will help clients explore which approach or combination of approaches fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting the plan as therapy progresses.
