How Anita’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts without getting stuck in them and pick actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, low mood and coping with big life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing small behavioural changes to reduce symptoms and improve routines. It often helps with anxiety, depression and compulsive behaviours. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and helps people build safer ways of relating to others. Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Anita will discuss options with clients and together they will decide what feels most useful based on needs and goals. This collaborative process means plans can change as progress is made and new priorities emerge. If you prefer online sessions, check the available session formats before booking to confirm what is offered. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work and family life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when a quick focus is needed. Many people find that structured exercises, homework and paced conversations move well to an online setting, and the therapist will adapt activities to suit each person’s circumstances.
