How Monia’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours link together and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it often helps with mood, worry and social anxiety. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, used alongside other approaches, pays attention to emotional responses in relationships and aims to shift interaction patterns that fuel disconnection.

Finding the best approach is a shared process. The therapist will discuss your situation, goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Sessions can adapt over time so techniques match what is helping you most. This collaborative way means the plan can change as your needs do.

Online therapy offers a range of formats to fit different days and routines. Video calls let you have a fuller face-to-face conversation. Phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, quick reflections or for people who find written contact easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work breaks, travel or quieter times at home while keeping continuity between sessions.
