Approaches and Online Support for Personal Growth
Laura Fontanet works from a person-centred foundation, offering a therapeutic stance based on empathy, acceptance, and respect for each person’s experience. This approach creates a space where individuals can explore feelings and make choices at their own pace, which is especially helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and identity concerns.She also draws on cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and gently challenge unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviours. CBT techniques can support people dealing with anxiety, depression, and coping difficulties by offering practical strategies to manage symptoms and build resilience. In addition, Attachment-Based principles inform her work with relationship and intimacy issues, focusing on how early experiences shape current patterns and how secure connections can be developed.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Registered professionals and therapists often combine techniques to suit individual circumstances, and Laura tailors this exploration with care.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy life or to access support from home. These options allow people to receive consistent, accessible care while choosing the format that feels most comfortable for them.
