How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps name and track strong emotions and the interaction patterns they create. It is often used when people want to understand difficult feelings and recurring relationship responses. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current attachment needs affect relationships and a person’s sense of safety with others. It can be useful when worry about closeness or abandonment shapes behaviour. Client-Centred Therapy prioritises the person’s experience and pace, giving space to reflect on identity, values and choices.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, current problems and preferences, and then agree on a way of working. That plan can change as therapy progresses and different tools are introduced to meet evolving needs.
Practical advantages of online sessions include fitting therapy into a busy week and choosing quieter surroundings that suit you. Because session formats were not specified in the biography, please confirm the available session options before booking. Many people find online work makes it easier to maintain regular meetings alongside work, caregiving or travel commitments, while still being able to use emotion-focused and attachment approaches in the session.
