Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, value-driven steps even when emotions are hard. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and offers practical exercises to shift unhelpful patterns and improve day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences. Together they decide which methods to use and how to adapt them over time to fit the person’s situation.
