Online support options
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and making changes that matter. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to reduce symptoms. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work, offering a non-judgemental space to be heard and to work through difficult feelings.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Joanne will discuss these methods with clients and decide collaboratively which fits best. Sessions can mix approaches and evolve as goals change, so the plan can be adjusted over time.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like flexibility and easier access. Video calls let people use visual cues and longer sessions, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and daily life, while still using ACT, CBT and client-centred techniques in a focused way.
