Attachment and CBT approaches delivered online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and interpersonal responses. It helps people explore connection, trust, and attachment styles to improve relationships and regulate emotional reactions. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience, offering a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's pace and priorities to foster self-understanding and growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, supporting relief from anxiety, low mood, and stress by building new coping strategies.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process. Sam works collaboratively with each person to understand their needs, goals, and preferences and will adapt methods over time to find the best fit for the work ahead. This shared decision making helps ensure therapy feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy with a registered professional offers flexibility - sessions can take place via video call or phone, and shorter exchanges are possible through live chat or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access regular support around work, family commitments, or mobility constraints while maintaining continuity of care and therapeutic focus.
