Tailored therapeutic approaches for online support
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and interpersonal responses. It helps people who struggle with trust, fear of abandonment, or recurring relationship difficulties to recognise attachment styles and develop more secure ways of relating.
Client-Centred Therapy places the person at the centre of the work, offering an accepting, empathetic environment where clients lead the pace and focus. This approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem, and personal growth and is well suited to those needing a compassionate space to process feelings.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is practical and structured, often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that maintain distress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and the therapist will work collaboratively with each person to identify the best fit based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they will adapt methods and set objectives so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexible options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access support across locations. Licensed professionals can use these formats to deliver the same core therapeutic work, adapting interventions and pacing to suit each person's circumstances and comfort level.
