Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships and attachment patterns influence current emotional responses and interpersonal dynamics. It can help people understand recurring relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and patterns that affect trust and closeness.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and work with core emotions and interactional patterns, especially within couples and close relationships. It supports improving emotional connection and building new ways of responding during conflict or distress.
Client-Centred Therapy emphasises a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the individual’s own experience guides the pace and focus of work. This approach helps people feel heard and empowered to explore personal goals and coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - registered professionals and therapists work collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. The practical benefits of online therapy include flexible scheduling and easier access to care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which can make it simpler to maintain continuity of support alongside everyday commitments.
