How her approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at patterns from early relationships and how they show up now; online conversations can help identify these patterns and try out new ways of relating. Client-centred counselling focuses on listening, empathy and supporting the person’s own process, which translates well to talking through feelings and priorities over video or phone. Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work with strong emotions in the room, and this can be done by gently guiding emotional expression and reflection during sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss different methods and tailor the way she works to match the client’s needs, goals and preferences. Clients can expect to try things out and adjust the approach as therapy unfolds.
Practical online benefits often include fitting sessions into a busy life, making it easier to attend from another part of the country, and reducing travel time. If you need certain formats or have a preference for audio over video, confirm current session options before booking so you know what is offered for scheduling and session length.
