Christina Tremaine, BACP, NCPS

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships affect present emotions and bonds. In therapy this can help someone understand patterns in close relationships and reduce anxiety around connection.

Client-centred therapy focuses on listening without judgement and following the client’s lead. It helps people who need space to speak freely and to find their own answers at their own pace.

Cognitive behavioural techniques are used to spot unhelpful thinking and to try practical alternatives. This approach is useful for mood problems, anxiety, sleep difficulties and coping with change.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will discuss options and adapt methods to suit the client’s needs, goals and preferences. Together they will try approaches and agree what feels most helpful, reviewing progress as they go.

Online therapy offers flexibility and several ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues are useful. Phone sessions work well if bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text messaging can fit short check-ins, ongoing written reflection or sessions that don’t suit a full video call. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and daily life while keeping the same therapeutic focus.
