Approaches for Connection and Change Online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape emotional responses and closeness. It helps people notice how attachment styles affect trust, intimacy and responses to loss or abandonment, supporting safer ways of relating.Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the work, with the therapist offering empathy, acceptance and attentive listening. This approach helps clients explore their feelings, build self-understanding and increase confidence to make choices that fit their values.
Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the effects of traumatic or distressing experiences by helping people process difficult memories and reduce their ongoing impact. It is suited to those coping with abuse, loss, dissociation or other trauma-related challenges.
