Attachment, Client-Centered Work, and Online Support
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns of relating - it helps people understand emotional responses, build safer connections, and address difficulties like fear of abandonment or intimacy issues. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the heart of the process, offering empathic, non-directive support so clients can explore values, make choices, and strengthen self-worth at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and offers practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful patterns.
Choosing the right approach is part of therapy, and she works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. As a registered professional she will review progress and adapt the plan so care evolves with the client's priorities.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions around work, family, or different time zones. These options can increase accessibility for people who live far away or have mobility or scheduling constraints, while still allowing therapists and clients to build a focused, supportive working relationship.
