Attachment, CBT, and Client-Centered Work Online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in relationships and emotional bonds, helping clients understand how past attachments influence current feelings and behaviour; it can be especially useful for addressing intimacy-related issues, abandonment worries, and relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering a nonjudgmental, empathic space where people can explore their thoughts and feelings and build self-awareness and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and modify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, which can ease symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and improve everyday coping skills.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Amanda works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors the blend of approaches so therapy feels practical and personally meaningful.
Online therapy with Amanda can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, family, or other commitments. These options make it easier to access support from different locations and at times that fit a client’s schedule, while allowing registered professionals and therapists to maintain consistency and continuity in care.
