How her approaches translate to online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming difficult emotions and on changing unhelpful interaction patterns. It is often used when emotions and attachment patterns affect how people relate to themselves and others. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, and to reconnect with their values when making choices. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relational patterns influence current responses and helps people try different ways of relating.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Stacey will discuss what feels most relevant and try different methods with clients so they can see what fits. She works collaboratively to set goals, review progress and adapt techniques based on what the client prefers and needs.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare or travel. They also let people choose shorter check-ins when that suits a day, or avoid video when bandwidth is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can offer these practical choices so therapy fits into everyday life.
