Approaches that guide online counselling and support
Filiz uses attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections and emotional responses - this approach can be helpful for people dealing with relationship difficulties, attachment issues, or the long-term effects of childhood experiences. She also incorporates mindfulness therapy, which teaches present-moment awareness and practical strategies to reduce stress, manage anxiety, and improve emotional regulation. In addition, client-centered therapy (also known as person-centered work) places the client’s experience at the heart of the process, offering a respectful, non-directive space to build insight and self-acceptance.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Filiz works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify which methods best match a person’s needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as circumstances change.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, over the phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support around daily life and to access therapists from different locations. These options can help clients maintain continuity of care, manage time constraints, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
