Approach-focused care delivered online



Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early bonds influence current reactions and emotional needs. It can be useful for people dealing with attachment issues, intimacy-related concerns, abandonment worries or relationship difficulties. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes collaboration and respect for the client's experience - the therapist follows the client's lead, offering empathy and support to help build self-awareness, confidence and personal agency. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and learn concrete strategies to manage anxiety, stress, low mood and eating-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Lauren works collaboratively with clients and registered professionals to identify which methods fit best with a person's needs, goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress is made. This collaborative exploration helps ensure therapy feels relevant and practical.

Online therapy offers flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support around work, family and daily life. These options increase accessibility and allow clients to connect with a therapist from their own environment while maintaining continuity of care.
