Online support
How attachment and ACT inform online care
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns play out now. It helps people notice recurring reactions in close relationships and try new ways of connecting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on values and practical action. It helps people accept difficult feelings and commit to small steps that match what matters to them.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Patrick will talk with each person about goals, life demands, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust over time based on what helps most.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video lets people use face-to-face conversation when that helps. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging allow for quick reflections, ongoing check-ins, and flexible pacing between formal sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, or travel schedules while keeping the focus on practical change.
