Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and understand strong feelings and patterns in close relationships. Online sessions can be used to slow down emotional moments and name what is happening in the moment so clients feel clearer about their needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small committed actions; it emphasises learning to accept difficult thoughts while taking steps that matter to you. ACT exercises work well in video or text formats where clients can try short tasks between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns affect current relationships and helps people try new ways of relating. Discussing these patterns online can make it easier to reflect and experiment with change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they will choose which methods to try and will adjust them as progress is reviewed. The goal is a shared plan that matches the person’s needs rather than a fixed programme.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break and need less bandwidth, while live chat or text-based messaging are helpful for brief check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family or travel commitments and to try different ways of working until the best fit is found.
