Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns shape current emotions and connections. It helps people understand fears of abandonment, closeness, and trust so they can build more secure bonds with partners and others.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client’s own experience and personal strengths. By offering empathic listening and collaborative reflection, it supports self-esteem, decision-making, and coping with life changes.
The Gottman Method focuses on relationship interaction and communication, offering practical tools for couples to manage conflict, increase intimacy, and strengthen friendship within the partnership.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Emma Dalgleish works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as understanding grows.
Online sessions via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provide flexibility for people juggling work, family, or mobility limits.
