Approaches you might use in online sessions
The therapist draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to identify patterns of thinking that keep problems going and to practise new, more helpful responses. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep and managing unhelpful habits.Attachment-based ideas help people understand how past relationship patterns shape current reactions. This approach can help with trust, intimacy and repeated relationship conflicts.
Client-centred work puts the person’s own goals at the centre of the sessions and focuses on listening, empathy and building self-understanding. It supports confidence, self-esteem and trusting your own choices.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and try methods that suit your needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as you progress.
Please confirm the current session options before booking as formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a work break, or offering sessions without needing to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can use these methods effectively when delivered thoughtfully.
