How Josie uses talking therapies online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while focusing on what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, stress and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships affect current connections and can help with intimacy and trust issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Josie will discuss the options and agree a plan with each person, drawing on ACT, CBT, attachment work or client-centred conversation as suits the goals. This is a collaborative process that checks what feels useful and what to try next.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use online sessions to keep therapy workable around day-to-day responsibilities.
