How Gaynor's Approaches Work Online

Gaynor uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then taking action toward things that matter. It can help with anxiety, anger, and coping with life changes.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and behavior. This approach helps people understand patterns in close relationships and try new ways of connecting that feel safer and more satisfying.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Gaynor will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. She checks in about what helps and adjusts the plan as therapy progresses.

Others appreciate learning mindfulness exercises and cognitive tools they can practice between sessions to manage stress and anger in everyday life.
