In today's fast-paced world, finding time for yourself can be challenging. I know what it's like to be rushed off my feet, juggling a career, all life's daily demands and young children can be hard. I understand we live in a world where we need to intentionally carve out time for our needs to be met. 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 short 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 stop short just as you were getting into it and if sessions were longer, you might feel drained and lose concentration - the aim is 'just right' as Goldilocks would say. With packages crafted to last a few weeks rather than months/years, it fits your busy schedule making Accelerated Online Therapy a natural choice.
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 to make a few tweeks in 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'd like an innovative therapy approach.
The Night Owl: Great if you have more time for yourself 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 lets you dip your toe into therapy. Perhaps you're someone who hasn't had therapy before as unhelpful thinking traps like “I’m not struggling as much as others” or "I can work it out on my own" has stopped you - take this as your sign to let yourself begin therapy.
The Intensive: Ideal if you're looking for concentrated therapy to process old memories or traumas. If something is causing you significant 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. Choose the Intensive 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 you if you're a high achievers looking to optimise your mindset for success. It especially suits entrepreneurs, business people, athletes or artists wanting to address the root cause of stuckness. 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 and succeed. If you want to break through to the next level and create a clearer vision for yourself, then this package for you.

By making a commitment like this, it demonstrates your willingness to make positive changes to your mental health, increasing the likelihood you'll follow through with the process. It's cost-effective over time, Accelerated Online Therapy can save you months or years worth of time as you aren't having rolling weekly or bi-weekly therapy. With an accelerated approach, you work on your goals in an efficient & focused way now, meaning more time to do what matters most to you.
Get the most out of Accelerated Online Therapy with these tips:
Take a Break Before and After: Give yourself time to relax before and after your session, ideally a 20 minute break to suit your Ultradian Cycle. Rhythm Reset will have plenty of resources to help you take quality breaks (launching soon). 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. The more relaxed you feel, the better.
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.

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.
