Online support
How Raj's approaches work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name the emotions that drive their reactions. It is useful when strong feelings are getting in the way of connection or daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, emphasises noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match personal values; it can help with anxiety, stress and difficulties sticking to changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Raj will talk with clients about what matters to them and try different ways of working to see what fits. This collaborative process means goals and methods can shift as needs become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video helps with visual connection, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These options let people fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments, and make it easier to keep regular contact with a therapist.
