Approaches that suit online counselling
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts without fighting them and identifying what matters most. It can help with anxiety, stress and finding direction when life feels overwhelming. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression and sleep problems. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current bonds and helps people understand and shift repeating patterns in close relationships.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Joanna will discuss your goals, needs and preferences and together you can decide which methods to try. She aims to be collaborative and to adjust the plan if something is not working for you.
The original profile notes Joanna has experience offering email, telephone and video counselling, which can make sessions easier to fit around work, caregiving or travel. Online options can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a busy day, or let you use telephone calls when bandwidth is low. Please confirm the exact session formats available when you book so arrangements match your needs.
