Therapeutic approaches and online care with Pauline Banks
Pauline often integrates Attachment-Based Therapy into her work, focusing on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. This approach helps people understand connection styles, heal from relational wounds, and build more secure bonds.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, problem-focused method that examines links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. CBT is useful for addressing anxiety, stress, low mood, and unhelpful habits by teaching skills to reframe thinking and change behavior.
For clients affected by traumatic experiences, Pauline may draw on EMDR, a trauma-focused approach that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional impact. Together with clients she considers which methods fit best, tailoring the plan to individual needs, goals, and preferences in a collaborative way.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions happen - whether by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit therapy into daily life and access registered professionals from different locations. These options support continuity of care and allow clients to choose the format that feels most comfortable and practical for them.
