Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and learn practical ways to act in line with those values while accepting difficult feelings. It can be helpful for anxiety, depression, stress and challenges that come with life changes.Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns in relationships that develop from early caregiving experiences and seeks to build more secure connections in the present. This approach can support work with relationship difficulties, attachment issues, adoption and family dynamics.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is often part of the therapeutic process itself. Mark works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and personal preferences, adjusting the focus of sessions as understanding and goals evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and comfort levels. For many people this makes it easier to maintain regular contact with licensed professionals and continue therapeutic work alongside daily responsibilities.
