Sessions & fees
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take actions that match their values. It often focuses on noticing painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and building a life that feels meaningful.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections affect current relationships and emotional reactions. It can help people understand patterns around closeness, trust and communication and try different ways of relating.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical strategies to challenge unhelpful thinking and develop new coping skills for anxiety, depression and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss needs, goals and preferences and together choose or blend methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and may change as sessions progress.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility and help people keep therapy consistent around work, caring duties or travel.
