Approaches used and online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps that match their values. It uses practical exercises and willingness to feel difficult thoughts or feelings while moving towards chosen goals.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It is often used for anxiety, depression and patterns that maintain distress by teaching simple strategies to test unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviours.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in close relationships. It can be helpful for intimacy, communication problems and attachment issues by exploring how people relate and respond to others.
Danielle treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, try out methods and check what helps. Decisions about which tools to use are made together and can change as work progresses.
