Approaches to online therapy and how they help

Alison draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships shape expectations and behaviour in current connections - this approach is useful for people dealing with trust, abandonment, attachment issues and recurring patterns in relationships. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which places the person's experience at the centre of the work and focuses on empathy, acceptance and collaboration to help build self-understanding and confidence. In addition she integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of responding when anxiety, low mood or stress get in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Alison works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods suit their needs, goals and preferences. She supports clients in experimenting with different ways of working and adjusts the plan as understanding deepens.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone allow real-time conversation, while live chat and text messaging can provide a more immediate or low-intensity option between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access registered professionals from different locations, while keeping the focus on progress and what works for the client.
