Therapeutic approaches and online support with Cherith McIlroy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and emotional response; it helps people who struggle with trust, attachment issues, and recurring relationship difficulties by exploring how past experiences influence present-day feelings and behaviour. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and pace, offering empathetic, nonjudgmental listening so clients can access their strengths and make choices that feel right for them; this approach is useful for self-esteem, grief, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and gently challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, offering practical strategies to manage anxiety, low mood, and stress.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Cherith works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they adjust the focus and techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.
Online therapy with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging provides flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to maintain regular sessions, try different formats to suit comfort levels, and access licensed professionals and therapists from where you are, supporting continuity of care and practical access to support.
