Therapeutic approaches and online practice

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and to take values-driven actions that build a more meaningful life. It is often useful for anxiety, depression and difficulties with motivation.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a warm, nonjudgemental environment where the client leads the pace and direction of their work. This approach supports self-exploration, self-acceptance and improved relational skills, and can be helpful for issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns and life transitions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress management, and for building coping strategies around sleep and daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she will work collaboratively with each person to determine the best fit based on needs, goals and preferences. Clients and the therapist discuss what feels most useful and can adapt methods over time as progress is made.

Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging makes it easier to access appropriately qualified or registered professionals from home or work. These options provide flexibility in scheduling, allow ongoing continuity of care during life changes, and make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy routine while still engaging in effective, evidence-informed work with a therapist.
