Online support
How Alexandra blends online approaches and therapy methods
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on recognising and reshaping emotional patterns. It helps people understand how emotions affect connection and closeness, which is useful for intimacy-related concerns and relationship strain.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical skills to live in line with personal values while accepting difficult feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) is a trauma-focused method that can reduce the intensity of painful memories; it is used when trauma or post-traumatic stress is a concern.
Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, symptoms and preferences and suggest methods that fit each person. Together they review progress and adjust the plan as needed to find what helps most.
Online sessions are available using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is often used for deeper conversation and EMDR work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family and daily life and to access support from different locations.
