Approaches in Online Therapy and How They Help
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relational patterns influence current feelings and relationship dynamics. It can help people understand fears of rejection, patterns of closeness and distance, and work through feelings connected to abandonment or attachment concerns.Client-Centred Therapy, rooted in person-centred practice, emphasises empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaboration. This approach supports clients in building self-understanding, confidence, and greater self-directed change, and is helpful for issues like low self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship difficulties.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) provides practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It can be useful for managing anxiety, stress, low mood, and for developing strategies to cope with everyday challenges.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Nicola works collaboratively with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore what feels most helpful and adapt the work as things evolve.
Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, to maintain continuity when travel is difficult, and to choose the style of communication that feels most comfortable, while still working with licensed professionals and experienced therapists.
