Approaches that shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive behaviour, and supports taking actions that match personal values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns formed in close relationships and how they affect current connections. This can help with intimacy-related issues, communication problems and feelings linked to abandonment or attachment wounds.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. Anthony will discuss options and tailor sessions based on what the client wants to achieve. The process is collaborative, with goals reviewed and adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls let people read facial expression and tone, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit more easily into a work break. Live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or moments when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats offer flexibility so therapy can fit around day-to-day life.
