Attachment-Based Therapy sees difficulties as tied to early and current relationship patterns. It focuses on how emotional bonds shape reactions and helps people notice and change those patterns. This can be useful for intimacy issues, abandonment worries and attachment-related anxiety.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person and their experience at the centre. The counsellor listens without judgement and encourages self-driven discovery, which helps when someone needs space to sort feelings like grief, shame or low self-esteem.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. It gives clear, practical tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviours, which often helps with depression, anxiety and stress.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss aims, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapt methods as therapy progresses. Clients are involved in deciding which ideas and exercises to try.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and exercises that use visual cues. Phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can work for brief updates, reflective notes or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family life and other commitments.
