Approaches that guide online conversations
Deborah commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings, and then choose actions that match their values. It is often helpful for anxiety, low mood and coping with major life transitions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and supports practical changes like scheduling, skills practice and testing unhelpful beliefs.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Deborah will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit your goals and preferences. That may mean combining techniques from different models and adjusting plans as you progress together.
If you prefer remote sessions, check the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to continue support during periods of change, while the therapist and client focus on practical strategies and emotional processing together.
