Therapeutic approaches and online care
Deena uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify what matters most to them and build actions that align with their values. ACT combines mindful awareness with practical steps to reduce avoidance and increase psychological flexibility, which can help with anxiety, depression and life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy is used to explore how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections. This work helps people understand relationship struggles, abandonment concerns and other attachment-related themes so they can develop more secure ways of relating.
Deena also draws on client-centered principles, offering an empathic, non-judgmental therapeutic stance that prioritises the person’s own experience and pace. Together these approaches support both symptom-focused work and deeper exploration of meaning and relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and Deena collaborates with each person to identify what fits their needs, goals and preferences. In practice she adapts methods as therapy progresses so the plan remains relevant and manageable.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video or phone make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and mobility needs, while live chat and text options provide additional ways to connect between synchronous appointments. These options increase accessibility and allow people to engage in therapy in the format that works best for them.
