How these approaches work online
Jeff combines Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centred Therapy and hypnotherapy in ways that suit individual needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and choose actions that fit their values, which is useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own experience and priorities, offering a space to talk things through and build confidence. Hypnotherapy is offered as a complementary tool to help with issues like smoking, sleep or strong habitual responses when the client wants to try it.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. He works collaboratively, discussing what feels most helpful and adjusting methods as goals evolve. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to use and when to try different techniques.
