Step 3

How these approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy is about understanding how early relationships shape current emotional responses and connection patterns; it helps when relationship security, trust or attachment wounds are central concerns. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening, reflection and unconditional positive regard so people can explore feelings and make their own choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings and behaviours interact and uses straightforward exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. The therapist will work collaboratively to identify which methods fit your needs and goals, and may combine elements from different approaches as the work progresses. Decisions about focus and techniques are made together rather than imposed. If you are considering online therapy, check which session formats are currently offered before booking because the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, family and travel commitments, reduce travel time and allow regular check-ins without needing to leave your day. Some formats let you have shorter check-ins or avoid being on camera, which can be helpful when bandwidth or energy is limited. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt exercises used in CBT and attachment work so they still feel practical and grounded when done remotely.
