Therapeutic approaches and online support

Vivienne commonly draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them while clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward meaningful goals - it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and ongoing stress. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding relational patterns that start early in life and how they shape current relationships and emotional responses - it can help with intimacy issues, abandonment concerns, and improving connection with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Vivienne works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions to the individual, revisiting and adjusting strategies as the relationship and goals evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat, or text-based messaging so people can engage in ways that fit their routines and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, access support from home, and find times that work around work, family, and other commitments.
