Online support
Practical therapy approaches delivered online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and responding to core emotions and the ways they shape relationships and behaviour. It can help when feelings feel overwhelming or when relationship patterns keep repeating.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to commit to actions that match personal values. It often helps with anxiety, depression and low motivation.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early patterns and how they influence current interactions and emotional safety. It supports people who want to understand why they react strongly in close relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your concerns, discuss different methods and adapt the work to your goals and preferences. Together you will decide which ideas to try and adjust them as you go.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging to fit busy lives and different needs. Video is useful for face-to-face feeling and tone, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and messaging suits ongoing reflection between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family life or travel.
