Attachment, Client-Centred, and Cognitive Approaches Online
Lydia draws on attachment-based work to explore how early relationships shape current patterns - this approach helps when difficulties with trust, intimacy or attachment are central concerns. Client-centred therapy forms a core of her practice, offering a warm, non-judgemental stance that focuses on listening, acceptance and building a strong therapeutic relationship to support personal growth. She also uses cognitive behavioural techniques to identify and gently challenge unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, useful for managing anxiety, low mood and practical coping strategies.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Lydia works with each person to identify priorities, try different methods where helpful, and adjust the focus based on the client’s goals and preferences, so therapy is shaped around what actually helps them.
Online work with Lydia is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text messaging, providing flexibility for busy schedules or for people who live far from her local area. These options make it easier to fit regular sessions into life, maintain continuity of care, and access licensed professionals and therapists from different locations when needed.
