How Collette’s approaches work online
Collette uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. ACT focuses on values and small steps, which can help with anxiety, avoidance and repeated unhelpful patterns.She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify and change thinking and behaviour that keep problems going. CBT sessions often include simple experiments and practical homework to test new ways of coping between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That means methods can be adjusted over time to match what is proving useful.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer writing or need frequent, brief support between calls.
These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and daily life while using the therapist's chosen strategies across different formats.
