Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations and patterns in current connections. It helps people understand why they relate to others the way they do and can be useful for improving communication, trust, and close relationships.

Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes the person’s own perspective and strengths. The therapist offers empathic support and helps clients explore their feelings and choices at their own pace, which can be helpful for building self-esteem and finding direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers practical strategies to address unhelpful patterns. It is often used to manage symptoms of anxiety, low mood, and panic by developing new coping skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. A registered professional will work collaboratively with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and may blend elements from different approaches over time.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, maintain continuity during transitions, and connect with a therapist from the United Kingdom even when distance or scheduling would otherwise be a barrier.
