How Heather’s approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps you notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting pushed around by them, while guiding you to act in line with your values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change patterns that cause distress. It is commonly used for anxiety, phobias and low mood. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current connection and trust, and can help with relationship difficulties and insecure attachment.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences and what feels most helpful. Together they adjust methods over time, trying different tools and pacing work so it fits the person's needs.

Session formats are not listed in the supplied biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by removing travel time, enabling shorter check-ins during a work break, or offering a quieter setting that reduces background demands. It also allows regular contact when travel or location would otherwise make meetings difficult. Registered or accredited professionals can guide clients on which approach and session rhythm are likely to work best.
