Therapeutic approaches and flexible online support

Maria Baxendale Hume draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her online practice. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful patterns of thought and learn to make room for difficult emotions while taking steps that align with their values - it can be useful for anxiety, stress and motivation issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, offering practical tools to manage symptoms of anxiety, low mood and confidence challenges.



Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Maria works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best for their needs, goals and preferences. Together they explore different methods and adjust the plan as progress unfolds, keeping the client’s priorities central to each decision.



Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexibility around work, family and location. These options make it easier for clients to access registered professionals from wherever they are, fit therapy into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care during life changes or travel.
