Approaches that translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and decide what matters most to them. It often uses simple exercises and mindfulness practices to build flexibility around difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying patterns of thought and behaviour and practising small changes that reduce anxiety and low mood. It works well for stress, depression and many practical problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand strong emotions in relation to relationships and attachment, making it useful for intimacy concerns and communication issues.Finding the best approach is part of therapy. Collette works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person’s goals, preferences and day-to-day life. She combines talking, skills practice and psychoeducation so the plan evolves with each client’s needs.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, reduce travel time and make it easier to keep a regular routine. Online contact can allow shorter check-ins when needed, support work around practical coping skills, and make it simpler to continue during periods of disruption. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises, homework and mindfulness practices to work well in a remote setting.
