Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and take small actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and life changes by focusing on meaningful goals rather than trying to eliminate every difficult feeling.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns of relating and emotion. This approach can help when attachment issues, abandonment concerns or communication problems make relationships and parenting more stressful.

Tamzin uses these approaches alongside client-centred work to tailor sessions to each person. Finding the right approach is a collaborative process - the therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. They adjust techniques over time so people get the type of support that works for them.

Online therapy with video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging offers flexibility for different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection helps. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging suit regular, brief check-ins and people who prefer not to use voice or video. Registered or accredited professionals provide these options so therapy can fit into varied schedules and practical constraints.
