Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without trying to eliminate them, and to identify personal values that guide meaningful action. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and helping people move forward despite discomfort.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in close relationships that developed over time, helping clients understand how early bonds influence present-day connections and emotional responses. This approach can be helpful for relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, and responses to abandonment or loss.
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing a warm, accepting therapeutic relationship in which the client feels heard and supported. It is useful for building self-esteem, processing grief, and encouraging self-directed growth.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Catherine works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She draws on these approaches flexibly, adapting the work as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for many people - sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to access therapists from home. For those balancing work, family, or mobility considerations, these options increase flexibility and make consistent support more manageable with licensed professionals and therapists.
