Approaches and online support tailored to individual needs
Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and interpersonal dynamics. It can help people understand relationship difficulties, attachment concerns, and the ways past experiences influence present behaviors. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical strategies and structured work, often used for anxiety, low mood, and stress management. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and gentle acceptance of experience, offering tools to reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.
Choosing the right therapeutic approach is part of the process and is treated as a collaborative decision. Hayley works with clients and registered professionals to assess needs, priorities, and personal preferences, adjusting methods over time so the support remains relevant and effective for each individual.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for different lifestyles and schedules. These options make it easier to access consistent care without travel, allow for a range of communication styles, and can support ongoing work in a way that fits daily life and responsibilities.
