Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Sophie Archer integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor online therapy to each person. Attachment-Based Therapy explores patterns formed in early relationships and how they influence current connections, helping with issues like abandonment, intimacy concerns and relationship repeat patterns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on providing an empathic, non-directive space where the client’s own choices and strengths guide the work, which is helpful for building self-esteem and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured techniques to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, providing practical tools for anxiety, panic and mood-related difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Sophie works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods fit their goals, preferences and life circumstances, adjusting the plan as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy feels useful and relevant to each individual.
Online therapy via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging brings flexibility for people balancing work, family or mobility constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, schedule sessions around daily life, and access consistent support from registered professionals and therapists without the need to travel.
