Approach-Focused Online Support and Practical Access
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while identifying personal values and taking steps toward a more meaningful life - it is often useful for stress, anxiety, and getting unstuck from unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores early and current relationship patterns to improve connection, emotional regulation, and trust in relationships, making it helpful for attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and family dynamics. Client-Centered Therapy places the person's experience at the centre of the work, offering a compassionate, non-directive space where self-understanding and self-esteem can grow, especially for those recovering from trauma or relationship strain.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Catherine works collaboratively with people to identify which methods best match their goals, preferences, and needs. Together they explore what feels most useful and adjust the approach as the work progresses.
Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, maintain continuity when travel or logistics are a challenge, and allow clients to engage in ways that suit their day-to-day routines while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
