Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Arham Abtahi
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns of connection and emotional response. This approach can help people working with abandonment, attachment issues, intimacy-related concerns, and difficulties in close relationships by exploring underlying relational templates and building new ways of relating.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance, and the client's own capacity for growth. By prioritising the individual's goals and experience, this approach supports people dealing with low self-esteem, life transitions, depression, and the need for clearer personal direction.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches skills for grounding attention in the present moment and noticing thoughts and sensations without judgment. It can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, dissociation, and patterns of rumination.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Arham adopts a collaborative stance with each person, exploring which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusting the plan as therapy unfolds so it fits the client's pace and priorities.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and shorter or more frequent exchanges are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options help people access registered professionals from different locations, fit sessions around work and family commitments, and continue therapeutic momentum between live appointments.
