Therapeutic approaches and how they work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on values and actions. It helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose small steps that match what matters to them, which can be useful for anxiety, stress and life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early patterns influence current relationships and can help people understand loyalty conflicts, attachment worries and blended household dynamics. Client-Centred Therapy (person-centred) emphasises a non-directive stance where the counsellor reflects and listens so the client can find their own solutions; this suits those who want a space to clarify decisions.Working out the right approach is a collaborative process. Wajda will discuss different methods with each person and shape the sessions to fit the client’s goals and preferences. The first meetings are typically used to agree what to focus on and which techniques to try together.
The biography notes she offers remote sessions. Please confirm which specific formats are currently offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy routine, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also allow people to meet from different locations, which can help if you and your counsellor are not in the same place. Registered or accredited professionals often adapt tools such as values exercises, attachment-focused conversations and emotion-focused tasks to work by distance.
