Therapeutic approaches and online support

Martha Burling draws on several evidence-informed approaches suited to different needs. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy - ACT - helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting overwhelmed by them, and to take action guided by personal values; it can be useful for stress, anxiety, and motivation challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and trust, offering a way to address issues like abandonment, attachment concerns, and relationship difficulties. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety and to build practical coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Martha works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best match their goals, preferences, and life circumstances. She adapts techniques over time as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, family, and other commitments. Sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter exchanges can be managed via live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access regular support and to choose the format that fits a client’s schedule and comfort level.
