Therapeutic approaches and online support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. It explores attachment styles and helps people understand and change how they connect with others, which can be useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns, and attachment issues.Client-Centered Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering empathetic listening and acceptance so clients can explore their feelings and values. This approach supports self-esteem, self-love, and personal growth by creating space for clients to lead the pace and focus of sessions.
Psychodynamic Therapy looks at unconscious patterns and past experiences that influence present behaviour and emotions. It can help people make sense of recurring difficulties such as depression, relationship problems, and issues rooted in early life experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. The therapist will work collaboratively with each person to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and may combine elements from different approaches as appropriate.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, by phone, via live chat, or through text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, access support from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most comfortable for the individual.
