Online support
Approaches that guide online therapy
Existential therapy helps people face big questions about meaning, choice and identity. It’s useful when life feels empty, confusing or full of difficult decisions and it focuses on personal values and honest reflection.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) blends acceptance with action. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, identify what matters to them, and take small workable steps towards those values. This approach is often helpful for anxiety, depression and chronic stress.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and patterns. It can help people understand why they repeat certain behaviours and support safer, more connected ways of relating.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. This is a collaborative process and methods can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people speak face to face without travel, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break, while live chat or text messaging make brief check-ins possible and useful between sessions. These options can make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
