How her therapeutic approaches work for online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking workable steps that match what matters to the person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thought patterns and supports practical skill-building to change reactions and behaviour. Mindfulness therapy involves simple exercises to increase present-moment awareness and reduce habitual stress responses. Choosing an approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, goals and preferences and then try methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as progress is reviewed. The original profile does not specify which session formats are offered for online work, so confirm options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy day, for example by avoiding travel or fitting a shorter check-in around work. Phone sessions can use less bandwidth and may suit a quick review, while video sessions allow visual interaction and face-to-face conversation. Discuss practical arrangements with the counsellor when you book so sessions fit your routine.Areas of expertise
