Therapeutic approaches Mary uses for online support

Mary uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships and attachment patterns influence current feelings and connections. This approach can help people understand patterns in intimacy, abandonment worries, and relationship difficulties and supports healing through increased awareness and new relational experiences.

She also works in a Client-Centered way, offering a humanistic, empathetic environment that prioritises the client’s pace and perspective. This approach can be particularly helpful for issues like low self-esteem, depression, and the need for acceptance and understanding.

Mary incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) when structured problem-solving and skills work are useful. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and offers practical techniques for managing anxiety, low mood, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Mary collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She works alongside clients to adapt strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Mary is offered by registered professionals via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility to fit therapy around work, family, and daily life. These options make it easier to access support from different locations and at times that suit the client.
