Evidence-Informed Approaches and Online Care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take meaningful steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings - it is often useful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns shaped by early relationships, helping clients explore how attachment affects current relationships and healing relational wounds.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works by identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and it can be effective for anxiety, depression, and many everyday challenges. John draws on these approaches to match methods to each person's situation and goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic work. He will collaborate with each person to determine which methods fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit support into busy or complex lives. This range of options supports accessibility and continuity of care for people who live apart from clinic locations or who need more flexible scheduling.
