Online session options
Approach-led support delivered online
Many people find Narrative Therapy helpful when they want to change the way a life story is told. This approach looks at the meanings people attach to events and helps to open up different ways to view them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings, choosing values-based actions, and building small habits that move a person toward what matters most.Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust. It can be useful for people struggling with intimacy, abandonment fears or repeated relationship problems. Together, these approaches give a mix of story-focused work, practical experiments and attention to emotional patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide which methods suit their goals and preferences. Sessions are adjusted over time as progress and new issues appear so the plan stays relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to provide choice and flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and longer conversations, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is low, and chat or messaging suits shorter check-ins or days when typing feels simpler. These options make it easier to fit therapy around family, work and daily life.
