How Kerry’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression and coping with life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current bonds and trust; it can help with adoption and foster care related worries and other attachment concerns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping a person lead the pace of their work; this approach is useful when people need a steady, non-judgemental space to talk.Finding the best approach is part of the process. Kerry will work together with each person to decide which methods might fit their goals and preferences. That plan can change as therapy progresses and new priorities emerge.
Session practicalities should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make therapy easier to fit around busy lives, reduce travel time and allow short check-ins when needed. It also makes it possible to use guided breathing and somatic exercises at moments that suit daily routines. Prospective clients are encouraged to confirm current session options when they book so they know what to expect.
