How these approaches work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and then choose actions that match what matters to them. It is often useful for anxiety, low mood and stress. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical steps to break unhelpful patterns; it can help with panic, phobias and obsessive thinking. Attachment‑Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape present reactions and helps people build more secure ways of relating and feeling safe with others. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Glenford will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls are close to face‑to‑face conversation and let visual cues guide the session. Phone sessions suit people who prefer not to be on camera or have lower bandwidth. Live chat and text‑based messaging are helpful for short check‑ins, ongoing support or when typing is easier than talking. These options give flexibility so therapy can continue around work, family and travel commitments.
