Online session options
How different approaches shape online therapy
Kate often uses Narrative ideas to help people tell and rethink the stories that guide their lives. That work looks at how past events and relationships influence current choices, and it can help when someone feels stuck or defined by a single experience.She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on values and practical steps. ACT encourages noticing difficult thoughts and feelings and committing to small actions that align with what matters to you. Attachment-based ideas are used to explore how early relationships affect trust, closeness and emotional reactions, which is helpful for people struggling with connection or repeated relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will listen to your goals and needs, then suggest ways of working and practical exercises to try. This is collaborative and can change as you learn what helps most.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when you want face-to-face conversation, phone calls suit lower bandwidth or hands-free check-ins, live chat fits quick check-ins and text messaging supports short ongoing contact and reflection. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while trying different ways of working.
