Online support options
Approaches you can use online with a therapist
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters most to you and then taking small, practical steps towards those values while learning to accept difficult feelings. It is useful for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and then try different ways of thinking or acting to reduce symptoms like panic, low mood or poor sleep. Client-Centred Therapy places the person's experience at the heart of sessions, with the counsellor offering empathetic listening and gentle guidance to help people make their own choices.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before, and then recommend a way forward. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses.
Online sessions by video or phone make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, while live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer shorter check-ins or who need to avoid video. Video calls let you use exercises that rely on visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth, and messaging can help keep a steady connection between appointments. These options aim to increase flexibility and make attending therapy more manageable for different schedules.
