Approaches for Online Work and Practical Support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape patterns of connection and safety in adult relationships. It can help people understand and shift long-standing reactions to closeness, abandonment or trust issues, and improve how they relate to partners and family members.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-based approach that looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours. It supports people who are struggling with anxiety, low mood, stress or unhelpful habits by teaching tools to reframe thinking and change behavioural responses.
Hypnotherapy uses guided relaxation and focused attention to support change in areas such as motivation, confidence, habit patterns and certain emotional responses. When used alongside other therapies, it can offer another route to reinforce new ways of thinking and behaving.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Faiza works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, adapting the plan as therapy progresses with input from the client.
Online therapy offers flexible options - video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging - so people can access support that suits their schedule and comfort level. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care across distances and life changes while working with registered professionals and experienced therapists.
