Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice and accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking action on what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and identity questions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression and sleep difficulties. Attachment‑Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns and how early connection affects current relationships and self‑worth, which can help with abandonment and trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before, and then suggest ways of working. This is a collaborative process and methods may be mixed depending on needs.
The biography states she currently offers weekly phone and chat/messaging sessions in a range of evening times from Sunday to Friday, 4pm to 11.30pm AEST. Confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into study, work or caregiving schedules, allow shorter check‑in conversations when needed, and reduce travel time. The focus is on practical strategies and consistent support that fit into everyday life.
