How his approaches translate to online counselling

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still move towards what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress and low mood by teaching practical skills for tolerating discomfort and acting with intention. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns that formed in close relationships and how they affect current connections; it can be useful when relationship difficulties, abandonment worries or attachment issues are present. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention practices to reduce rumination and improve sleep and emotional regulation, often with short exercises to use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit their needs. Decisions about which techniques to use are made together, and can change as progress is made.

The original biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy lives, for example by removing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. Between-session recordings mentioned in the profile can be a useful complement to live meetings, helping clients practise skills and make steady progress.
