How John uses therapy approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting ruled by them. It focuses on what matters to the person and small actions that match their values, which can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It offers practical exercises and experiments to reduce worry, improve sleep and change unhelpful patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. John will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and agree a plan together. That collaborative process helps decide whether ACT, CBT or attachment-based ideas are most useful for the issues at hand.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and video or phone sessions may suit different needs such as lower bandwidth or avoiding being on camera.
