Therapeutic approaches for online support

Andrew integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to support clients in online sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them, learn ways to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings, and take committed steps toward meaningful goals - it is often used for stress, anxiety, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships that began early in life and explores how those patterns affect current connections and trust, which can be helpful for relationship and family conflict work.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Andrew works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. He aims to adapt techniques in ways that make sense for the individual and their circumstances.

Online therapy sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering greater flexibility for scheduling and participation. These options make it easier for people to access support from where they are, accommodate different comfort levels with communication, and maintain continuity of care when life circumstances change.
