Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Sarah Bailey commonly draws on attachment-based work to explore how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people understand attachment styles, improve emotional connection, and address issues such as abandonment or repeated relationship difficulties.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical method that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. CBT can be useful for stress, anxiety and building tools to manage unhelpful thinking and develop healthier coping strategies.

For clients affected by past harm, trauma-focused methods are applied to help process painful experiences and reduce their ongoing impact. These techniques aim to restore a sense of safety and build skills for managing triggers and distress.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Sarah will work with each person to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting the plan as therapy progresses with input from the client.

Online therapy options - including video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to access support from home. These formats offer flexibility in scheduling and allow clients and licensed professionals to work together in ways that suit each person’s routine and comfort.
