Approaches to work with online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and reconnect with what matters. It uses simple mindfulness and values-based actions to move towards meaningful goals, and can be useful for anxiety, depression and life direction issues.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current responses. It helps people understand emotional triggers, build healthier ways of relating and reduce repeated cycles of shame, guilt or isolation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Marion will discuss options and try different techniques together until a good fit emerges. This collaborative process adapts to a person’s needs, goals and what feels most helpful in session.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. Video is useful for full conversation and visual cues, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text-based formats suit shorter check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family and everyday life while still using the same therapeutic methods and skills training.
