Attachment, Client-Centered, and CBT Approaches for Online Support
Emma Hughes uses several evidence-informed approaches that translate well to online work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns in close relationships and helps people explore how early bonds influence current feelings and behaviours - this can be useful for relationship difficulties, attachment issues and abandonment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy places the client's experience at the heart of sessions, offering a non-directive, empathic space where people can explore identity, self-esteem and life transitions at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps clients identify and change unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, making it a practical option for anxiety, depression and stress-related difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Emma will collaborate with clients to assess their needs, goals and preferences and adapt methods over time so the work remains relevant and effective for them.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how and where clients engage - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging - which can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, accommodate different energy levels, and maintain continuity of care for clients living in different locations. Registered professionals can deliver meaningful, focused therapeutic work through these modalities, supporting progress without requiring clients to travel.
