Online support options
How counselling approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression and life changes where motivation and meaning are central. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change thinking and behaviour patterns, which helps with worry, low mood and sleep problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) supports people to understand and work with strong emotions, useful when someone wants to improve emotional regulation and connection with their own feelings.Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences in early sessions and try methods that fit the person's needs. That collaborative process helps shape a plan that feels manageable and relevant to daily life.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit varied schedules and needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face discussion and skills practice, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text or live chat suit brief check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family routines and other commitments.
