Attachment and Psychodynamic Approaches in Online Therapy
Valerie Baker draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationship patterns influence current feelings and behaviours; this approach helps people understand how attachment needs and fears show up in adult relationships and can be useful for issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties, and relationship strain. She also uses Psychodynamic Therapy to look at recurring emotional patterns and underlying conflicts that contribute to distress, offering a way to bring often-unseen dynamics into awareness and to work through longstanding feelings such as guilt and shame or the emotional impact of past abuse.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Valerie works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review progress and adapt the approach as understanding deepens and priorities change.
Online therapy with Valerie is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support from registered professionals without the need to travel, helping clients fit therapy into busy lives while maintaining continuity of care.
