How therapeutic approaches work online
Sarah uses Narrative Therapy to help people tell and reframe their stories, which can reduce shame and open up new choices. Narrative work is useful for grief, relationship questions and long-standing patterns that feel stuck.She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and choosing actions that align with your values. ACT can help with anxiety, depression and coping with chronic health issues.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs, discussing what helps and adjusting as you go. This collaborative process means you help shape the way sessions proceed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different routines and comforts. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a session needs a shorter check-in. Messaging or live chat can be used for ongoing reflection between calls and for people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and travel.
