Attachment and Client-Centered Support Delivered Online



Joanne draws on attachment-based work to explore how early relationships and attachment patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. This approach can be helpful for people dealing with abandonment, relationship difficulties, or long-standing trust issues. Client-centered therapy underpins her practice by prioritising empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own pace; it supports those navigating anxiety, grief, and depression by offering a non-judgmental space to process feelings.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the journey. Joanne works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts her practice as the work evolves so clients feel involved in shaping their therapy.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reach people in different locations, and maintain continuity when in-person meetings are not possible. Registered professionals, including Joanne, use these formats to support meaningful progress in a way that suits each client’s circumstances.
