Online support options
Approaches you can use online and how they help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify their values and try small actions that line up with what matters. It is often used for stress, anxiety and getting unstuck when life feels difficult. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns that keep problems going. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and helps people shift how they relate to themselves and others.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk through goals and preferences and suggest approaches that might fit. That choice is made together and can change as the work progresses to meet the person’s needs.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections or times when typing is easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life and to access registered or accredited professionals from different locations.
