Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then take steps that align with their values. It is often used for anxiety, stress, low mood and life transitions because it focuses on building psychological flexibility and purposeful action.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early and important relationships shape current patterns of relating. It can be useful for people struggling with relationship issues, attachment worries, intimacy-related concerns, or the effects of loss and early separation.
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a warm, empathetic relationship in which the therapist offers understanding and unconditional positive regard. This approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem and personal growth, and can be helpful when someone needs a supportive space to make sense of their feelings.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Michaela will work collaboratively with each client to identify which methods fit best with their needs, goals and preferences, and she may draw on more than one approach as therapy progresses.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging let clients access licensed professionals from home, work or elsewhere. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, maintain continuity when schedules change, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
