Therapeutic approaches for online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and develop practical skills to act in line with those values even when difficult thoughts and feelings arise. It is often used for anxiety, stress and helping people find direction during life changes.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing a non-judgmental, empathetic space where the client leads the pace and focus of work. This approach can be helpful for building self-esteem, exploring relationship patterns and feeling understood during times of emotional overwhelm.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, involves identifying and gently challenging unhelpful thoughts and developing balanced, actionable coping strategies. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress and managing intrusive or repetitive thinking.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Mark will work collaboratively with each person to choose or combine methods that fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with a registered professional offers flexibility - sessions by video or phone and options for live chat or text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. These formats support consistent access to care, allow work from familiar locations and can make follow-up between sessions more convenient for people juggling work, family and other responsibilities.
