Online support
Therapeutic approaches and online support
This counsellor uses Existential Therapy to help people explore meaning, purpose and identity when life feels confusing or empty. Existential work can be useful for those facing major life changes or questions about direction and values.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps towards what matters most. ACT can help with anxiety, depression and living with ongoing symptoms. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to look at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and communication, which can be useful for relationship and family concerns.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss the options and decide together what fits the person’s goals, needs and preferences. This collaborative way makes it easier to try methods that actually feel helpful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible for people with busy schedules or who live far from in-person services.
