Therapeutic approaches available online
This therapist integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and a client-centred framework to support online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that reflect their values - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in close relationships and how those early bonds affect current connections - it can help with relationship difficulties, intimacy-related issues, and attachment concerns. Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the process, offering empathic, non-directive support to foster self-understanding and personal growth - it supports those working through grief, low self-esteem, and emotional recovery.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. She works collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the approach as therapy progresses to ensure the best possible fit.
