Therapeutic approaches and online support

Ciara draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered principles to support people working through emotional and practical challenges. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values, notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them, and take committed action toward meaningful goals - it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviours to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, panic, and obsessive compulsive difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a respectful, empathetic therapeutic relationship where the client's perspective guides the pace and direction of work, supporting issues like self-esteem, relationship concerns, and coping with change.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Ciara works collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress and priorities evolve. This collaborative stance helps ensure treatment aligns with what matters most to the client.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be held by video call or phone, and additional contact can take place via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to arrange appointments around work, family, and caregiving responsibilities, and to keep continuity of care when circumstances change.
