How therapy approaches work online
Wajda commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and attachment-based ideas alongside a person-centred way of working. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and take steps that match their values, which can suit worries, anxiety and life transitions. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build different ways of relating and feeling safer in connections. Client-centred or person-centred therapy centres the session on the person's experience, offering non-judgemental listening and joint planning to find what helps. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the issue and adjust the plan as needed, mixing conversational work with exercises or creative activities when useful. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits short check-ins and messaging works for ongoing written reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and location while keeping the focus on practical progress.Start online instead of waiting
