Practical online therapy using values, attachment and narrative approaches
Anthony commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT focuses on actions that fit a person's priorities rather than getting stuck on unwanted thoughts or feelings.He also uses Attachment-Based Therapy ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach can help people understand why they feel and react the way they do in close connections and build different responses.
Narrative Therapy is another influence, which involves looking at the stories people tell about themselves and rewriting them in more helpful ways. That can be useful for issues like self-esteem, trauma and major life changes.
Finding the right approach is usually a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods accordingly. Working together helps decide what elements to use and how sessions should flow.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, such as taking a session during a lunch break or avoiding travel time. It can also allow quieter, shorter check-ins when that suits someone's routine.
