How Janet’s approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and focus on what matters to them. It uses simple exercises to build psychological flexibility and support behaviour change for issues like anxiety, depression and anger. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and uses short practical tasks to shift unhelpful habits and reduce distress. These tasks suit problems such as panic, phobias, sleep issues and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns in close relationships and how early experiences shape current reactions; it can help with relationship strain, trust issues and emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Janet will discuss preferences, goals and what has or hasn’t helped before. She aims to build a plan together and adjust methods as needed so therapy fits the person rather than forcing a single technique.

If you want online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking. The biography notes availability by video, phone or chat, and evening appointments UK time to suit other time zones. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-in moments when days are busy. Janet will help choose the format and pacing that best supports your goals.
