Online support options
Therapeutic approaches you can try online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to focus on actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical techniques to reduce panic, phobias, obsessive thoughts, compulsive behaviours and unhelpful worry.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and then suggest ways of working together. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT or a client-centred style fits best.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging can suit quick check-ins, shorter sessions or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family and daily life.
