Online session options
How narrative and ACT tools translate to online care
Sheila combines Narrative ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-based thinking in ways that work well online. Narrative work looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps identify parts of those stories that limit choices or increase shame. It can help with identity, relationship patterns, and self-image. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present, which helps with anxiety, depression, and motivation. Attachment-based ideas explore how early relationship patterns shape current trust and closeness, useful for intimacy-related concerns and communication problems.Finding the right approach is part of the process and will be collaborative. Sheila listens to your goals and preferences, then suggests ways to mix Narrative, ACT, or attachment-focused techniques. Together you decide what to try and adjust plans based on what helps you make steady progress.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins or when a quick reflection fits your day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work or family schedules and to keep momentum between sessions.
