Background and approach

Sorcha emphasises small, steady changes rather than quick fixes. Sorcha uses a mix of approaches to suit each person. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps tackle unhelpful thinking and behaviours.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports people to clarify values and take meaningful action. Attachment-based ideas and emotionally focused work can help when relationship patterns and past hurts get in the way. Her style is warm and collaborative.

She listens first, then offers tools and exercises a person can try between sessions. Many clients work on breathing and grounding techniques, thought records, or simple behaviour experiments. Sorcha has three years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She offers sessions in English and is happy to work with international clients by video, phone or messaging. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire.

How Sorcha’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed, then choose actions that match their values. Online work can use guided exercises and values clarification tasks across sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviours. In remote sessions this often involves simple at-home experiments, thought records and homework to practise between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Sorcha will talk through what feels useful and adapt methods to the person’s goals and pace. The collaboration helps decide whether ACT, CBT or attachment-focused ideas suit a particular situation.

Online formats offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls let people use face-to-face interaction when that helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing coaching-style contact, or a way to reflect between longer sessions.
