Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take committed action even when difficult thoughts or feelings are present. It is often helpful for anxiety, low mood, motivation struggles, and coping with life changes by teaching practical skills to live in line with what matters most.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding patterns in relationships that develop from early experiences and current attachments. It can support those dealing with relationship difficulties, attachment issues, grief, and the emotional impacts of trauma by exploring how connections shape feelings and behaviour.

Liz works collaboratively to identify which approach or combination of approaches best fits each person’s needs, goals, and preferences. Determining the right therapeutic path is part of the work together, with the therapist and client reviewing progress and adjusting methods as needed.

Online therapy offers flexible access to licensed professionals through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access consistent support from home, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable.
