Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that form in early relationships and persist into adult connections. It helps people understand how attachment styles shape trust, intimacy and responses to loss or abandonment, offering ways to build more secure relationships. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and find internal motivation for change - it is often helpful with addictions, coping with chronic health issues and making lifestyle adjustments. Trauma-Focused Therapy addresses the impact of traumatic experiences by helping clients process distressing memories, reduce symptoms linked to trauma, and develop safer ways of coping.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Christine works collaboratively with clients and other registered professionals to identify which methods align with an individual’s needs, goals and preferences, and may adapt techniques as the work evolves. This collaborative stance helps tailor therapy to the person rather than forcing a single model.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions by video call or phone, live chat and text-based messaging allow people to engage from different locations and at times that suit their schedules. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, to access support during life transitions, and to fit therapy into a busy life while working with trained therapists.
