Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating that develop early in life and how those patterns affect current relationships and emotional reactions. It helps people understand attachment needs, improve connection with others, and manage feelings that come from past relational wounds.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, present-focused approach that looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviours interact. It offers tools to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, try new coping strategies, and reduce symptoms linked to anxiety, low mood, and stress.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) centers on identifying and working with core emotions to strengthen emotional bonds and resolve distress in relationships. It can be helpful for couples and individuals who want clearer emotional communication and deeper understanding of inner experience.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Pooja, as a registered professional, will work collaboratively with each person to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and will adapt the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions - including video calls, phone work, live chat, and text-based messaging - offer flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the format that feels most comfortable for engaging in therapy.
