Therapeutic approaches and online support

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking meaningful action. It is often used for stress, anxiety and life transitions where finding direction matters.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. It offers structured techniques for managing anxiety, improving mood, and addressing relationship or parenting challenges.

Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on understanding and processing traumatic experiences in a way that reduces their ongoing impact. This approach is tailored for people who are working through trauma and abuse and need paced, evidence-informed support.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and Zohreh Safarnezhadi works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She supports clients to try different strategies and refine the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for scheduling, let people engage from familiar environments, and support ongoing contact between sessions. Working online can suit a wide range of concerns and allows appropriately qualified or registered professionals to deliver consistent, goal-focused care.
