How his approaches work online and in practice
Client-Centred Therapy is about offering a warm, listening space where the person’s experience shapes the conversation. It helps when someone needs to be understood without pressure to change immediately.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches ways to notice painful thoughts and feelings while still taking steps towards what matters. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress when people feel stuck.
Existential Therapy helps people look at life meaning, choice and responsibility when facing big changes or uncertainty. It can be useful for grief, career questions and moments of shifting identity.
Finding the right approach is a shared task. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. This collaborative process can be adjusted as the work progresses.
Practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions into a busy week and reducing travel time. It can make it easier to keep regular appointments and to check in quickly during a difficult period.
