Online session options
How narrative and evidence-based approaches work online
Trish combines Narrative ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-based perspectives to help people untangle their stories and try new ways of living. Narrative work focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and looks for alternative narratives that feel more helpful. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and then act in ways that match personal values. Attachment-based work explores how early relationship patterns shape current connections and coping styles so people can choose healthier responses.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Trish will listen to what matters most and outline a plan that blends story work, values-based action, and relationship-focused insight. Together the client and therapist will adjust methods over time to find what fits goals and lifestyle.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions let people use visual cues and longer conversation. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers no video. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, practicing skills between sessions, or scheduling quick support. These formats aim to make regular work on ideas and skills easier to fit into a busy life.
