Online support options
How Vernon’s approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and behaviour then testing practical alternatives to reduce distress. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep or eating difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Vernon will talk with each person about goals and preferences and suggest one or a blend of approaches. The choice is collaborative and can change as needs evolve during therapy.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging is useful for short check-ins or ongoing support between meetings. These options make it easier to fit appointments around work, family or travel and to continue therapy when circumstances change.
