Therapeutic approaches and online support
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person rather than the problem. It relies on empathetic listening and respect for the client’s pace and priorities, helping people explore feelings and make choices that feel right for them. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships affect current patterns - it can be useful for people dealing with relationship difficulties, attachment issues or trauma by identifying how past bonds shape present responses.Solution-focused therapy concentrates on practical steps and small achievable changes. It helps clients set clear goals and build on strengths to move toward specific improvements in areas such as stress, coping with life changes, or relationship tensions. The therapist works collaboratively with clients to find the best mix of approaches based on individual needs and preferences, adjusting methods as the therapeutic work progresses.
Online therapy with this practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit sessions around work, family or mobility needs. These remote options make it easier to attend regularly and to choose the communication style that feels most comfortable, while working with registered professionals and therapists who adapt their approach to each person’s goals.
