Online support
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Hypnotherapy can help with relaxation, sleep and reducing anxiety by using guided imagery and focused attention. It is often used to build calm, improve confidence, and support behaviour change in a few focused sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches people to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It uses simple exercises to clarify values and take action that fits what matters most to the person. Client-centred therapy is about being listened to and understood. The therapist follows the person’s lead, reflecting back what matters and encouraging self-discovery rather than giving instructions. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Joanne will discuss different methods and agree together which to try first. She adapts based on progress, goals and personal preference, so therapy feels tailored rather than fixed. Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let people have face-to-face conversation from wherever they are, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low, and live chat or text messaging can suit shorter check-ins or those who prefer writing. These options offer flexibility for people balancing work, family and travel, and help keep momentum between meetings.We will earn a commission if you sign up through our link, at no cost to you.
