Therapeutic Approaches for Online Counselling

Jane Evans integrates evidence-informed approaches that translate well to online work, tailoring methods to each person’s needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions aligned with personal values - this approach can help with anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current connections and emotional responses, making it useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening and the therapist’s genuine regard, creating a supportive space where people can explore self-esteem, identity and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Jane works collaboratively to identify which methods best fit a person’s goals, preferences and circumstances. She adapts techniques and the pace of work in partnership with each individual to build a tailored plan.

Online therapy with Jane can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from wherever a person is located and to continue therapy through life’s changes.
