How Katie uses EFT, attachment ideas, and CBT online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on helping people identify and name the emotions behind their reactions. It is often used when feelings are intense or hard to put into words and can help clarify patterns that keep repeating in relationships and daily life. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early connection styles and how those patterns show up now, useful for understanding trust, closeness, and recurring conflict.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness add practical tools. CBT helps spot unhelpful thoughts and change small behaviors that make problems worse. Mindfulness offers short practices to reduce stress and improve sleep and attention.
Katie treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process. She works with each client to decide which ideas to try first, checks in about how things are going, and adjusts methods based on goals and preferences. That means sessions can include talking, brief exercises, and between-session practice chosen together.
Session formats are not detailed in the original biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten check-ins, or avoid travel time. Many people find remote sessions allow for more consistent meetings and the ability to use techniques in real-life settings between appointments.
