Therapeutic Approaches for Online Emotional and Relationship Work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages clients to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to commit to actions that reflect their values - it can help with anxiety, low mood, and motivation. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns from early relationships and how they affect current connections and emotional responses, making it useful for relationship difficulties, intimacy concerns, and attachment wounds. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and reshaping emotional patterns within close relationships to foster safer bonds and improved communication, often used for couples work and relational distress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Wendy collaborates with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She works alongside each person to adapt techniques and tailor support so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter or more immediate contact can happen through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, to maintain continuity during change, and to access registered professionals from different locations.
