Approaches That Shape Online Therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns influence feelings and behaviour. It helps clients explore connection, trust, and patterns of closeness that may underlie anxiety, relationship difficulties, or attachment-related concerns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasises a warm, non-judgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist listens deeply and supports the client's own process of self-discovery and growth - this approach suits people seeking acceptance while they work through self-esteem, motivation, or life changes. Solution-Focused Therapy is goal-oriented and practical, helping clients identify strengths and small, achievable steps toward desired change, which can be useful for stress management, coping strategies, and short-term goals.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Kalpna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions so that the approach evolves as progress is made.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier for clients to fit support into busy lives or to access help from different locations. Registered professionals can provide structured, consistent care through these formats, allowing therapists and clients to focus on meaningful work together despite geographical distance.
