How these approaches translate to online work

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, looks at patterns of thinking and behaviour and teaches practical techniques to change them. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression and unhelpful habits and gives clear steps to practise between sessions.

DBT, or Dialectical Behaviour Therapy, focuses on managing intense emotions and improving coping skills. It offers tools for distress tolerance, emotional regulation and better interpersonal boundaries, which can help people struggling with anger, self-harm urges or addiction cycles.

EFT, or Emotionally-Focused Therapy, centres on emotions in close relationships and on increasing self-compassion. It helps people process painful feelings and develop more secure ways of relating to themselves and others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their needs, preferences and goals and together decide which methods to use. That collaborative process can be reviewed as things change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into everyday life, for example by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins if needed. If you want to know which session formats are offered, please confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can adapt techniques used in CBT, DBT and EFT to remote sessions so the work remains practical and focused.
