How Digna’s approaches work online

Digna often draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that reflect their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood and feeling stuck. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current behaviour and helps people form healthier ways of relating.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which ideas and techniques suit their goals and daily life. That choice is reviewed over time so the plan changes if something else would work better.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats available before booking as this profile does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They can also make it simpler to meet after work, during a lunch break or when arranging care for someone else, helping therapy slot into everyday life more easily.
