Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape how people connect with others. It helps clients understand patterns in attachment, improve trust and emotional safety, and address relationship difficulties that stem from past experiences.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship where the client's experience guides the work. It is helpful for building self-awareness, strengthening self-esteem and finding direction during times of change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical strategies to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and managing reactions such as anger.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Luisa works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences. She adapts techniques and pace according to what feels most useful for the client.

These options make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel, and they support working with therapists across different locations while maintaining continuity of care.
