How therapeutic approaches translate to online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then focus on what matters to them. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and major life changes where values and action steps are helpful. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it suits worries, sleep problems and stress. Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance and interpersonal skills and can help when emotions feel overwhelming. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Rachel will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. She adapts strategies over time and checks in about what is working and what needs change. Her biography records experience delivering remote therapy and running telephone and virtual sessions. Please confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving or medical appointments, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins by phone when needed. Many people find that regular remote sessions provide consistent support while they manage everyday commitments.
