Therapeutic approaches for online support

Heather uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify what matters most to them and to take committed action toward those values. ACT focuses on building psychological flexibility, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and difficulty coping with change.

Attachment-Based Therapy is employed to explore patterns in relationships and early connections that affect current behaviour and emotional responses. This approach can help with relationship difficulties, insecure attachment styles, and trauma-related relational issues.

Heather approaches therapy collaboratively, recognizing that finding the right methods is part of the therapeutic process. She will work with each person to identify which approaches best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support from different locations. These options offer flexibility in scheduling and communication style, allowing therapists and registered professionals to tailor sessions to what works best for each client.
