Applying attachment, client-centered, and CBT approaches online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional responses. It helps people understand attachment issues, abandonment concerns, and difficulties trusting or forming close relationships by exploring relational history and building safer ways of connecting.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasises empathy, acceptance, and the therapist's non-directive support. This approach creates a space for clients to explore identity, self-esteem, loss of purpose, and life direction at their own pace while being met with understanding and validation.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) identifies unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and offers practical strategies to change them. CBT can be effective for managing anxiety, low mood, anger, and unhelpful coping patterns by using structured exercises and clear tools for everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and the therapist will work collaboratively to identify the best fit based on a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. Therapists adapt methods and pace according to what helps each person make meaningful progress.
Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for different lifestyles and time zones. These formats make it easier to access registered professionals and continue consistent work despite busy schedules, travel, or caregiving responsibilities.
