Edmund Britton, NCPS

Edmund often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy alongside attachment-focused work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours connect and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxious or unhelpful thinking patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build safer, more reliable ways of relating.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. Edmund works collaboratively to choose which approaches to try based on each person’s needs, goals and preferences. He will discuss options at the start and adapt methods as work progresses so the plan reflects what actually helps the client.

Online sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines. Video lets people read facial cues and hold more in-depth conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when someone needs to step away from a screen. Live chat or messaging can work well for quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style exchanges or when written reflection feels more comfortable. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, travel or shift patterns, while still allowing focused, therapeutic conversations.
