Therapeutic approaches and online support

Dilnia Horton commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns. CBT is practical and goal-focused, often used for issues such as low self-esteem, eating concerns and anxiety related to relationships and parenting.

She also incorporates Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) when working with couples and family dynamics. EFT focuses on identifying emotional needs and improving communication so that attachment and connection can be strengthened within relationships.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Dilnia works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss different methods and adapt sessions alongside clients to build a tailored plan.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone appointments, live chat or text-based messaging to suit schedules and access needs. These options make it easier for people to engage with registered professionals and therapists from home or other convenient locations while maintaining continuity of care.
