Therapeutic Approaches for Effective Online Support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and focuses on acting in ways that reflect personal values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, behaviour change and coping with chronic issues.

Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns of relating that developed in early relationships and how these affect current partnerships and family dynamics. It supports work on trust, intimacy and communication problems.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavioural patterns, which can relieve symptoms of depression, anxiety and sleep difficulties while improving coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Michelle works collaboratively with clients to select methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. An initial exploration helps tailor the plan and adapt techniques over time to suit each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to continue work from different locations. Appropriately qualified or registered professionals can provide meaningful support through these formats, allowing clients to engage in ongoing care in ways that suit their circumstances.
