Integrating therapeutic approaches into flexible online care
Martin Sugg draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to tailor online work to each person. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and is helpful for people struggling with trust, abandonment or intimacy issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, acceptance and collaboration so clients can lead the pace and focus of their own change. CBT offers structured tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can be especially useful for anxiety, depression and motivation challenges.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Martin works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and adapts techniques over time as progress emerges. This helps ensure therapy addresses what matters most to each person rather than following a fixed formula.
Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. These options provide flexibility for scheduling, allow work from familiar surroundings, and support continuity when in-person meetings are difficult. Registered professionals and therapists can use these formats to deliver focused, goal-oriented sessions while maintaining therapeutic connection and momentum.
