How her approaches work in online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and emotional bonds. Online sessions can help people notice how past relationships affect current feelings and reactions, which is useful for grief, intimacy issues and attachment difficulties.Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the heart of sessions. The counsellor listens without judgement and helps the client find their own solutions, which can be especially helpful for stress, low self-esteem and coping with life changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and together decide what methods to use. This makes sessions more collaborative and tailored to each person's needs.
Confirm session options before booking so you know what is available for your situation. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow evening or Saturday appointments, and remove travel time. Telephone sessions are useful when you want a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth, while video lets you keep visual contact when that feels important.
