Approaches in Online Therapy with Catherine Dicken

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify their values and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation issues by encouraging practical steps aligned with what matters most to the person.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns of connection, trust and emotional regulation. This approach can support work on relationship difficulties, abandonment or attachment issues, and family dynamics by exploring how past experiences shape present interactions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Catherine works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts techniques as the relationship and understanding develop.

Online therapy offers flexible access to support through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule sessions around work, family and travel, and to maintain continuity of care when circumstances change. Registered professionals can provide effective, ongoing support through these formats while tailoring the pace and style to each client.
