Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Veronica works from approaches that prioritise the client’s experience and practical change. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting, empathetic relationship where the client’s perspective guides the work - it is useful for people seeking understanding, emotional support, and personal growth. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviours through structured techniques and practical exercises - it is often helpful for anxiety, stress, and mood concerns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to emotions and attachment patterns within relationships, supporting people and couples to understand and transform difficult interaction cycles.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Veronica collaborates with each person to decide what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She combines methods when appropriate and reviews progress together to refine the plan as therapy unfolds.
Online therapy with Veronica is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility to fit different schedules and situations. These options make it easier to access consistent support from wherever a client is located and allow therapy to continue around work, family, and daily life commitments.
