Online support options
Therapeutic approaches and online access
Sarah draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in everyday language. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being ruled by them and then take small steps towards what matters. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at thinking patterns and practical habits and teaches straightforward skills to change responses and improve mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. That collaborative discussion guides whether sessions lean more on ACT, CBT or a client-centred focus.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter background is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer writing instead of speaking on camera.
