Veedia Ramalingum, BACP

Veedia uses Client-Centred (person-centred) methods which focus on listening carefully and creating a respectful space for the client to talk. That approach helps people feel heard and decide what to explore at their own pace. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try practical changes, such as tracking thoughts and testing small behavioural shifts between sessions. Attachment-Based ideas look at patterns in relationships and how early connections shape current feelings and reactions, which can be useful for issues like abandonment or trust concerns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is treated as a shared task. The therapist and client talk about goals, try different techniques, and choose what feels most useful. That collaborative process means the work can change over time as needs and priorities shift.

Online formats include video calls, phone conversations, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins, note-taking or people who prefer not to speak on camera. These options make therapy more flexible for work, family commitments or differing sensory needs.
