Online support options
Approach and online therapy options
Megan often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting uncomfortable feelings. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and to develop practical coping skills for anxiety, low mood and stress.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Megan will work with each person to test methods, adjust techniques and choose what fits best with their goals and everyday life. The aim is to tailor approaches so they feel useful rather than forced.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health needs while keeping continuity of care with an appropriately qualified therapist.
