Therapeutic approaches and online care tailored to you
Christie integrates approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to support people in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then clarify values and take actions that create a more meaningful life - it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and coping, helping people address relationship difficulties, attachment issues, and feelings of abandonment or emptiness.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Christie works collaboratively with each person to find the best fit. She listens to your needs, goals, and preferences and adapts techniques to suit where you are and what you want to achieve.
