Therapeutic approaches and online therapy
Ann-Marie works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the person's needs. One commonly used approach is practical problem-solving, which breaks challenges into small steps and tests manageable changes between sessions. It helps with everyday stresses, sleep or eating routines, and coping with parenting demands.Another approach focuses on emotional processing and safety in relationships. This involves talking through painful experiences and learning ways to improve communication and intimacy. It can support people dealing with grief, trauma, relationship strains or loneliness.
Choosing the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will discuss your goals, try different ways of working, and adjust plans based on what helps most. This collaborative process makes it easier to find methods that fit your situation and preferences.
Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow a visual connection similar to face-to-face work, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to be on camera, and live chat or text-based messaging suits quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and different time zones.
