Online support
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on emotions and attachment patterns, helping people notice and change painful emotional cycles. It is useful where strong feelings or repeated relationship patterns cause distress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches practical ways to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while moving toward what matters most. It often helps with anxiety, depression and life transitions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Sarah will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That collaborative process means techniques can be adjusted as needs change, with the therapist and client deciding which tools to try next.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging so people can choose what suits them. Video calls work well for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions use less bandwidth and fit into short breaks, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect between sessions. These options give flexibility for different schedules, locations and communication styles.
