How his approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify what matters to them and take steps in that direction even when feelings are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and struggles with motivation or chronic pain. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change relationship responses. It can help with intimacy issues, grief and family-related concerns. Client-Centred Therapy gives the person space to tell their story while the therapist offers empathic understanding and gentle reflection, which helps people feel heard and begin to make changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Colin will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which ideas to try first and adjust the approach as therapy progresses, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls are close to a face-to-face session, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or messaging suit short check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and different timezones, while letting therapists and clients focus on what will move them forward.
