Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationship patterns affect current bonds. Online sessions using this approach look at how past attachments shape trust, closeness, and reaction to stress, and aim to shift those patterns over time.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, concentrates on how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact. In video or phone sessions she helps people spot unhelpful thinking, test new behaviours, and try small experiments between meetings to reduce anxiety or low mood.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people identify and name emotional responses in relationships and create new ways of connecting. This can be useful for intimacy issues, attachment wounds, and conflict that keeps repeating.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss goals and preferences, and together the client and counsellor choose methods that fit the situation. That plan can change as needs evolve, so the process is collaborative and reviewed regularly.

Online therapy offers real flexibility. Video calls are good for fuller conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth or camera use is not practical. Live chat and text-based messaging suit brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or times when writing feels easier. These options help people fit therapy around work, family, and day-to-day life.
