Online Therapy with Attachment, Person-Centred, and CBT Approaches
Nicola draws on Attachment-Based therapy to explore how early relationships shape emotional patterns and connection - this approach can help with relationship difficulties, trust issues, and feelings of abandonment. She also uses a client-centred perspective that prioritises the person's own experience and strengths, offering a supportive, non-directive space to build self-understanding and confidence. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is integrated when practical tools and structured work are helpful; CBT focuses on identifying patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress and offers strategies to change them.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Nicola works collaboratively with each person to find what fits best. She tailors her methods to a client's goals, preferences, and needs, combining elements from different approaches when that will support progress.
Online therapy with Nicola can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home or work and can accommodate people who prefer shorter, more frequent check-ins or longer sessions, depending on what suits them and the therapist.
