How different approaches shape online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and feelings without being driven by them. It supports people in choosing actions that match their values, which can help with grief, anxiety and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. It uses practical exercises to reduce unhelpful thinking and build new coping habits, useful for anxiety, depression and sleep problems.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and then suggest methods to try. You and the therapist decide together what helps most, and the plan can change as you make progress.
Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins, or letting people join from a quieter space that suits them. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises and worksheets for remote work so sessions still include practical skill-building and planning.
