Therapeutic approaches and online sessions with Alison Baxter
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. It helps people understand their attachment style, improve closeness and trust, and address difficulties in relationships that stem from early experiences.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a warm, non-directive relationship where the therapist offers empathy and genuine understanding. This approach is useful for building self-awareness, self-acceptance, and personal agency when facing life transitions or emotional challenges.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) works with the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours. It offers practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression, manage unhelpful thinking, and develop coping skills for day-to-day stresses.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Alison collaborates with each person to explore which blend of methods best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the direction of therapy as those needs evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access a registered professional from different locations, fit therapy into busy schedules, and continue work through life changes and travel while maintaining continuity of care.
