Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Thomas Beardmore
Thomas draws on Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to guide online work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships influence current patterns, helping people address issues like abandonment, relationship difficulties, and attachment concerns. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on empathy, acceptance, and the client’s own capacity for growth, offering a supportive framework for improving self-esteem and confidence. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and provides practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and unhelpful coping habits.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Thomas collaborates with each person to identify goals, preferences, and needs, and adjusts methods so therapy fits the individual rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all model. This collaborative stance helps determine the most helpful pathway forward.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family, and location, and allow registered professionals to offer consistent, ongoing support in ways that suit each person’s life.
