Therapeutic approaches for online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and learning practical strategies to change them. It is often used for anxiety, depression, low mood and many everyday difficulties by helping people develop new coping skills and ways of thinking.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness and mindfulness. It is useful for people who experience intense emotions, relationship challenges, impulsive behaviours or difficulty managing stress.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process distressing memories and reduce the intensity of trauma-related reactions. It can be particularly helpful for those who have experienced abuse, loss or other overwhelming events.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Tomlinson collaborates with each client to explore needs, goals and preferences, and then tailors interventions so the work feels practical and relevant. This collaborative stance helps identify which methods to prioritise and when to adapt techniques.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family or other commitments and allow clients and registered professionals to continue meaningful therapeutic work from different locations.
