Online session options
How narrative and ACT work online
Alister often blends Narrative Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in online work. Narrative Therapy helps people notice the stories they tell about themselves and try new, alternative stories that feel truer and more helpful. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying personal values and taking concrete steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings.He treats finding the right method as a team effort. During early sessions he listens to goals, tests approaches, and adjusts based on what the person finds useful. Clients and the therapist choose techniques together so therapy matches needs and preferences rather than following one fixed plan.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face-to-face when they want that connection. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break or a walk. Live chat and messaging make short check-ins and reflective notes easy between longer sessions. These options aim to make therapy flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
