How Helen’s approaches work in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with big life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns formed in relationships and aims to help people build safer, more dependable ways of connecting. That work can help with intimacy issues, abandonment worries and communication problems. Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s own goals and experience at the centre of sessions, using active listening and empathy to help people discover their next steps.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That conversation usually happens early on and can change as work progresses.

Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy day and avoiding travel time, which can make regular appointments easier to keep. Online work can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits someone, or reduce bandwidth by using audio rather than video where helpful.
