Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Ilona integrates attachment-based work to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach helps when difficulties with trust, intimacy, separation or abandonment influence emotions and relationships. She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the client’s perspective guides the pace of change and practical goals are developed collaboratively. In addition, Ilona offers hypnotherapy techniques to support focused relaxation and work with motivation, confidence, and changing unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Ilona works with each person to identify which methods best suit their needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts plans over time in collaboration with the client and with input from registered professionals where appropriate.
