Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Client-centered therapy places the person at the heart of the work, offering an empathic, non-judgemental space where the individual's goals and priorities guide each session. This approach helps with self-esteem, relationship concerns, and personal growth by building self-awareness and confidence.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors. It is a practical, goal-oriented method often used to address anxiety, stress, and mood-related difficulties by teaching tools to manage symptoms and change reactions.
Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they affect present-day connections and emotional responses. This approach can be especially useful for people dealing with attachment issues, adoption or foster care experiences, and relationship challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Louise works collaboratively with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and will recommend or combine methods that best suit the individual over time. The choice of approach is reviewed together to ensure a good fit.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - making it easier to access support alongside work, family, and other commitments. These options allow therapists and licensed professionals to maintain continuity of care across different locations and schedules while adapting the format to what works best for the person seeking help.
