Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without getting caught up in them, and then taking actions that match what matters to you. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical techniques to change unhelpful cycles, which can help with depression, anxiety and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people create healthier ways of relating and managing intimacy concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and try methods that fit the situation. Decisions about which techniques to use are made together, and the plan can change as progress is reviewed.

Online therapy with this practitioner is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face discussion and exercises, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text options suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and help keep continuity when in-person meetings are difficult.
