Therapeutic approaches and online support

Jayde draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to meet each person's needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people clarify their values and take committed action toward what matters, supporting coping with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering a non-judgmental, empathetic environment where self-understanding and personal growth can develop. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be effective for anxiety, mood difficulties, and stress-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Jayde works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences, and circumstances. This collaborative process may combine elements from different approaches to tailor care to the individual.

Online therapy with Jayde is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules and people in different situations. These options make it easier to access support from home or work, and allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care through changing circumstances, while enabling regular, practical work toward meaningful goals.
