How online sessions use evidence-based approaches
Thomas uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy to anchor online work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and then pick actions that match their values. Mindfulness Therapy trains attention to the present moment so stress and reactive behavior become easier to observe and manage.He treats online therapy as a collaborative process. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try based on current struggles, personal goals, and daily routines. That makes it easier to adjust exercises or shift focus as progress is made.
The biography notes virtual work but does not list specific session formats. Please confirm which online formats are offered before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit appointments into work breaks, avoid travel time, and use mindfulness exercises in the places where they live their daily life. Online meetings also let the therapist adapt tools to the client’s usual environment, making practice between sessions more practical and relevant.
