How Samantha uses evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying what matters to a person and taking committed steps towards those values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and decisions during life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to reduce panic, manage sleep and change unhelpful habits.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals and try methods that fit a person’s needs and preferences. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT or other ways of working are most useful for a particular concern.
The profile indicates Samantha offers video and telephone sessions. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, for example by avoiding travel and allowing shorter check-ins between commitments. Telephone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a client prefers not to use a camera. Confirm the current session options before booking so arrangements match your schedule and goals.
