Online session options
How narrative and action-focused approaches work online
Prof. Tommie Colin combines Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-based ideas to guide online work. Narrative Therapy helps people retell difficult parts of their lives so those events do not define them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and small, practical steps to move toward a life someone cares about. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationships shape current patterns and help people build safer ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will talk with each person about what matters to them and try methods that match their goals. That collaborative exploration means strategies can change as needs and preferences become clearer.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to support different routines. Video is useful for longer, interactive sessions and when nonverbal cues help the conversation. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or when a person prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for brief check-ins, short coaching-style support, or when someone needs flexibility around work or caregiving. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the work focused on stories, values, and relationships.
