In today’s fast-paced world, finding time for yourself can be challenging. I know what it’s like to be rushed off your feet, having two little ones keeps me on my toes not to mention juggling all life’s daily demands. I understand firsthand that carving out time for you needs to be intentional. Accelerated Online Therapy is a modern approach to meaningful therapy that works with your natural rhythm and fits seamlessly into your busy schedule.
What is Accelerated Online Therapy?
Accelerated Online Therapy is an intensive therapeutic approach designed to achieve significant progress in a shorter period. Sessions are 90-minutes to align with your ultradian rhythms, ensuring maximum productivity and engagement. Ninety minutes lets you dive in but without losing steam. If sessions were shorter, you might feel like you have to stop short just as you were getting into it and if sessions were longer, you might feel drained by the end of it – the aim is ‘just right’ to suit you (my ideal client) and Goldilocks, of course. With packages crafted to last a few weeks rather than months/years, it’s great for your busy schedule. Short-term online therapy might be the solution you’ve been waiting for?!
BIG PROBLEM #1: A lot of people want convenient short-term therapy and 50-minute weekly or fortnightly appointments make short-term therapy trickier. Some people want help with one or two areas in their life, while others want to deep dive into past traumas, but regardless of the depth you want to go into in therapy, appointments are often scheduled during the workday when you’re, well, working.
BIG PROBLEM #2: A lot of people don’t know where to start with choosing a therapist and end their google search no closer to starting therapy. But if you do find a therapist you’d like to start with… you probably live in different corners of the world. Hmm if only therapy was online…
Natural Choice Therapy designed a service to solve these problems, a specialised therapy service offering short-term online therapy. Whether you want to focus on just a couple of concerns or go into great depth, there are three bespoke packages to choose from if you want an innovative approach to therapy.
- The Night Owl: Great for those who can take time for themselves in the evenings, like parents or professionals. Schedule your 90-minute sessions from the comfort of your own home and work on one or two areas of your life. The Night Owl is for you if you want to dip your toe into therapy but you’ve not yet committed as unhelpful thinking traps like “I’m not struggling as much as others” or “I can work it out on my own” stop you – take this as your sign to let yourself begin therapy.
- The Intensive: Ideal for those looking for a concentrated therapy to process old memories or traumas. If you’ve been through something difficult and it causes you pain or suffering, then this package is for you. Mind-body therapies, like EMDR, help integrate your memories to make more space for you to live in the present. The Intensive is for you if you’re ready to deep dive into your triggers, process blocks, reconnect with yourself, and lead a more present and meaningful life.
- Peak Performance: Designed for high achievers looking to optimise their mindset for success, especially suits entrepreneurs, business people, athletes or artists who want to address the root cause of their barriers. The aim is to remove blocks and instead create possibilities for your future. You don’t have to think “I’m not good enough” or “I don’t deserve X” any longer – you can create a more adaptive mindset which allows you to reach your potential. If you want to break through your blocks and create a clearer vision for yourself, then this package for you.
Why Accelerated Therapy Suits Busy & Motivated People
Efficient and Effective: 90-minute therapy gives you extra time compared to traditional therapy’s 50-minute sessions, which helps create more flow and space for you to delve deeper. Flexibility: online therapy means you can attend sessions from anywhere in the world – no need to commute or adjust your day around therapy. Quick Progress: Intensive focus means you can work on your therapy goals over a shorter period, making it ideal for those with demanding schedules.
The Value of Upfront Investment
Investing in your mental health upfront can seem daunting at first, but it can help with your Commitment: Paying upfront demonstrates your commitment to your mental health journey, increasing the likelihood you’ll follow through with the process. Cost-Effective: Over time, accelerated therapy can be more cost-effective than spreading out your sessions over months or years. Faster Results: With an intensive approach, you work on your goals in a focused way now, reducing the overall time in therapy.
Improve your Therapy Experience
To get the most out of your Accelerated Online Therapy sessions, consider these suggestions:
Take a Break Before and After: Give yourself time to relax before and after your session, ideally a 20 minute ultradian rhythm reset, see Better Breaktimes for a few ideas. Resting will help soothe your nervous system and integrate therapeutic work.
Create a Soothing Space: Set up a calm, comfortable environment before your session. Think about your five senses – clear away clutter, light a candle, sip your favourite drink and grab a soft blanket.
Minimise Distractions: Choose a quiet location where you won’t be interrupted. Turn off other devices and let those around you know you’re not to be disturbed.
To sum it up: if you’re looking for a therapeutic experience that fits your natural rhythm, with evidence-based skills to match your specific needs, at times to suit your busy schedule, and with a therapist who can support you in a professional and timely way, without the hassle of rearranging your diary… then book your first appointment with me and let’s get started!

Nature and me go way back. Growing up in the Irish countryside, my siblings and I were often shooed outside until dinner was ready, giving us endless hours of playtime. I didn't know it then, but those years of 'play' have shaped my outlook on mental health today.
As a teenager, I had the opportunity to go on outdoor expeditions and I remember on my first trek, the leader had us stop, take off our rucksacks, and sit quietly for ten minutes. A novel feeling of awe & gratitude washed over me - my first experience of deliberate mindfulness in nature.
University life pulled me indoors and away from nature, joining the surf club rekindled that connection. My first sunset surf was unforgettable, being a beginner didn't stop me from appreciating the glistening waves or the sound of the water against the surfboard; the moment took me out of my head & back into my body. Adventure sports often bring a quick connection to mind & body, making you feel truly alive. The university skydiving club did that for me - each jump was a wake-up call. But I've since learned through other practices that you don't need extreme sports to fully connect with your senses. Going on a 10-day silent retreat and doing my doctorate research on therapists' mindfulness helped me appreciate the soft, subtle sights & sounds of the present moment.
Rhythm Reset brings together evidence-based tools as well as my personal and professional skills to offer a new way of living well now (rather than waiting for your next holiday!). One that reconnects you with your needs and the simple rhythms & joys of everyday life.
