Online session options
How Narrative and Acceptance Approaches Work Online
Pamela uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from the problems they face. This approach involves telling and reworking personal stories so that clients can see new options and feel less defined by past events. It can be helpful for identity concerns, relationship patterns, grief and issues that feel stuck.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to support people in noticing their thoughts and values, then taking small actions that align with what matters. ACT can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with change because it focuses on living a meaningful life rather than battling every difficult feeling.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Pamela aims to collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adapts the pace and focus as therapy progresses.
