How her approaches shape online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can support people dealing with anxiety, depression or major life changes by encouraging meaningful steps rather than getting stuck in avoidance.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns of closeness and trust that developed in earlier relationships. It can help when people feel disconnected, struggle with intimacy, or repeat difficult relationship dynamics.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Tina will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and practical.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work and caring duties, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people try different tools such as skills practice between sessions, while keeping the focus on everyday steps that support change.
