Joanna Klekotko, BACP

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then focus on values-driven action rather than getting stuck in avoidance. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns affect current connections and can help with recurring relationship difficulties and trust issues. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to spot unhelpful thinking and change behaviours, which is often helpful for anxiety, depression and coping with stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Joanna treats this as a collaborative process and will help clients test methods that match their needs and goals. Together they agree what to try, review progress, and adjust methods as required so therapy stays relevant and focused.

Online therapy lets people use different formats to suit their life. Video calls are close to an in-person meeting and allow visual cues. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short check-ins, ongoing reflections between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and changing routines while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional understanding.
