Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Client-centred therapy emphasises a collaborative, empathic relationship where the person is treated with respect and allowed to lead the pace and focus of sessions - it is well suited to people seeking understanding, emotional validation, and support while exploring personal goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic, stress, and mood-related concerns and often includes skill-building that can be practised between sessions.
Attachment-based therapy explores patterns formed in relationships and how these influence current connections and emotional responses. It can be particularly helpful for relationship difficulties, family conflict, and issues rooted in early attachment experiences.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Allan works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made. This shared decision-making helps ensure the work feels relevant and usable.
Online therapy provides flexibility and accessibility by enabling sessions via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, access support from different locations, and maintain continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult.
