Therapeutic approaches and online care
Anne works from several complementary approaches to help people heal and move forward. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the individual's own experience and strengths, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person guides the pace of change and the therapist provides empathy and support - this approach suits issues like low self-esteem and relationship concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early caregiving and attachment patterns shape current relationships and emotional responses; it is useful for addressing abandonment, intimacy challenges, and attachment-related difficulties. Trauma-Focused Therapy targets the effects of traumatic events and supports processing painful memories and symptoms through stabilising techniques and gradual exploration, which can help with PTSD and trauma-related distress.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Anne collaborates with each person to identify methods that best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan over time so therapy feels practical and relevant.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats allow people to access consistent support from registered professionals without needing to travel, making it easier to fit therapy into daily life while maintaining continuity of care.
