Approaches adapted for online therapy and everyday life
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, then commit to actions that match their values; it can help with anxiety, depression and coping with change. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and helps people try new ways of connecting and responding. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce symptoms and improve routines.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Christopher will talk through options and try methods that fit each person’s goals and preferences. He treats the process as a collaboration and adjusts methods as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video is useful for a fuller conversation and visual cues; phone calls need less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging are good for quick check-ins, homework support or when typing feels easier than talking. These options provide flexibility and make it simpler to keep continuity between sessions.
