Therapeutic approaches you can access online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and still take steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on spotting patterns between thoughts, feelings and actions and testing new ways of thinking to reduce distress.Diane uses Attachment-Based and Client-Centred ideas too, which help people improve close relationships and feel heard during sessions. She works collaboratively to decide which approach fits best. Together they set goals, review what helps and adjust the work if something is not useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to give flexible options. Video calls suit longer conversations and visual cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is low, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical change.
