Approaches for Online Connection and Emotional Work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of closeness and trust. It helps people explore attachment needs and repair relational patterns that affect intimacy, communication and security. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the centre of the process, offering non-directive support that emphasises empathy, acceptance and the client’s own capacity for growth; it is useful for stress, low self-esteem and choices about life direction. Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, works directly with emotional experience to help partners or individuals identify, express and transform painful feelings into new ways of relating and making decisions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Gorazd collaborates with each person to decide what fits best based on their needs, goals and preferences. He tailors sessions and may combine elements of different approaches to suit the presenting concerns and personal style of the client.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, allowing people to arrange support around work, family and travel. For many, remote sessions make it easier to maintain regular contact, try different formats and access support from registered professionals regardless of geographic location.
