Therapeutic approaches for online counselling and relationship work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, commonly known as ACT, helps people notice unhelpful patterns and commit to actions aligned with their values. It uses practical exercises to build psychological flexibility and is often helpful for anxiety, stress and life transitions.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and connection. It is useful for couples work, intimacy-related issues and attachment concerns, helping people develop more secure ways of relating.

The therapist approaches choice collaboratively, recognising that finding the right method is part of the therapeutic process. Alexandra works with each person to identify which approach or combination best matches their needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility for busy lives and for people in different regions of Australia. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, continue work between appointments and access appropriately qualified or registered professionals without travelling to an office.
