Online support
Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach can help people who struggle with trust, closeness or repeated relationship difficulties by exploring long-standing emotional needs and responses.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether CBT, attachment-informed ideas or mindfulness techniques are the best fit for the client's situation.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to increase flexibility. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions can be easier if bandwidth is limited, and messaging suits brief check-ins or ongoing support between calls. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments.
