Online approaches for attachment, client-centered, and CBT work
Frances King integrates several practical approaches that translate well to online work. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relational patterns influence current feelings and connections - it can help with abandonment, attachment difficulties, intimacy issues and relationship patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the client's own experience and resources; the therapist offers empathic listening and reflection to support the client in finding their own solutions and developing self-esteem and resilience. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and offers structured ways to reduce anxiety, manage mood, improve sleep and address unhelpful thinking patterns.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Frances works collaboratively to find the best fit. She discusses goals, preferences and practical needs with each person and adapts methods so the work feels relevant and achievable.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support from registered professionals without the need for travel, while allowing therapists and clients to focus on meaningful therapeutic work.
