Approaches used online and what they involve
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, encourages people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It helps with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck by focusing on values and small committed steps. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at thought patterns and behaviour and uses practical tasks to change unhelpful cycles. This approach suits worry, panic and repetitive negative thinking. Client-Centred Therapy emphasizes a warm, non-judgemental relationship where the client leads the pace and topics discussed.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Abigail will discuss these methods with clients and decide together what fits best for their goals and preferences. The process is collaborative, so methods can be adjusted as needs change over time.
Online sessions include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video is useful for longer therapy work and face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat are practical for brief check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to keep continuity of care and fit therapy around daily life.
