Approaches in online therapy and how they help

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings while focusing on actions that reflect what matters to them. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes by encouraging small, values-led steps. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationship patterns shape current reactions and helps people develop new ways of relating to themselves and others. This approach can support intimacy issues, grief and relationship difficulties. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the counsellor offering empathic listening and non-judgemental support so clients can find their own solutions and feel heard.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Adenike will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods collaboratively. That means techniques can shift over time as needs change rather than sticking to one fixed method.

Online appointments are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face contact across distances, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options give flexibility for different schedules and practical circumstances while keeping the focus on the therapeutic process.
