Online support
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises and small experiments to reduce anxiety, manage panic attacks and address mood problems.
Dialectical Behaviour Therapy (DBT) teaches skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance and better communication. It can be helpful for intense emotions, impulsive behaviours and improving relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Christine will discuss different methods and help decide what fits the client's goals, preferences and the problem they want to tackle. The process is collaborative and may combine elements from several approaches.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video lets people see non-verbal cues, phone calls can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging works for ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity when schedules or locations change.
