Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then move toward actions that align with their values - it is often used for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and helps repair connection and trust, which can be useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours to reduce symptoms like depression, anxiety, and low self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Zoe works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors strategies from these approaches to fit each person rather than applying a one-size-fits-all model.

Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers practical flexibility - it makes it easier to attend sessions around work, family, or mobility constraints and can widen access for international clients. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt their techniques to these formats, helping clients engage in meaningful, goal-oriented work from where they are most comfortable.
