Online support options
How Angela’s therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood by focusing on what matters rather than trying to stop thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. CBT can help with depression, anxiety, sleep and eating difficulties.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Angela will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try. The plan can be adjusted over time if something is not helping or if priorities change.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video works well for in-depth conversations, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins, and text messaging helps people who prefer writing. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while keeping the focus on practical changes and steady progress.
