Victoria Keeble, NCPS

Attachment-based work focuses on how early connections shape current reactions and relationship patterns. In online sessions this means noticing attachment responses - for example anxiety in relationships or fear of rejection - and practising new ways of relating and soothing oneself.

Client-centred counselling puts the person’s experience at the core. The counsellor listens deeply, reflects what they hear and helps the client discover their own solutions. This approach suits people who need a steady, accepting space to make sense of hard feelings.

Cognitive behavioural techniques look at thoughts, feelings and actions together. Online CBT-style work often involves spotting unhelpful thoughts during a session and agreeing small experiments to try afterwards to test new ways of thinking and behaving.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Victoria will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt methods as needed so sessions fit the person. This is a collaborative process where the client helps steer the plan.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use facial cues and fuller conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit short check-ins, brief reflections or people who find writing easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family or day-to-day life.
