How Andrea's approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in relationships and emotional responses. It helps people who struggle with abandonment, attachment issues, trust, and recurrent relationship difficulties by exploring those patterns and developing more secure ways of relating.
Client-Centred Therapy, also known as Person-Centred Therapy, focuses on empathy, acceptance, and supporting the client's own capacity for self-understanding and growth. This gentle, non-directive approach can be especially helpful for issues like low self-esteem, depression, and emotional overwhelm.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) addresses unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns with practical strategies to reduce symptoms of anxiety, stress, and depression. It often involves collaborative goal-setting and exercises to practise between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Andrea works collaboratively with clients to identify the methods that best match their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she will adjust the focus as therapy progresses in partnership with each individual. Registered professionals and therapists use this collaborative process to ensure sessions feel relevant and effective.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, and options for live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into daily life. These formats increase accessibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or those who prefer remote support, while still allowing meaningful therapeutic work to take place.
