Clare Fisher, BACP

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being controlled by them, then choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how these affect current connections; it can help with abandonment, communication problems and feeling emotionally distant. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on being heard and understood so people can explore their own solutions at their own pace and build self-trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clare will discuss options with each person and together decide which methods to try based on needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process means approaches can be blended and adjusted as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation from anywhere, phone sessions can fit into a short break and use less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to keep continuity of care and to fit sessions around work, family and other commitments.
