Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Laura draws on Client-Centred Therapy to create a supportive, non-judgemental space where the client’s experience is central. This approach focuses on empathy, active listening and collaboration, and it can be helpful for building self-awareness, confidence and a stronger sense of identity.
She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood and stress. CBT offers concrete tools and exercises clients can use between sessions to support gradual change.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) is employed when relationship dynamics and attachment issues are a core concern. EFT helps people explore emotional responses and improve connection in close relationships, making it useful for couples work and attachment-related difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Laura works collaboratively with clients and with registered professionals where appropriate to determine which methods best match a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and she adapts her style as those needs evolve.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into busy lives, reduce travel needs and maintain continuity of care across locations. These options help people access therapy in ways that suit their daily routines while still working toward meaningful change.
