Therapeutic Approaches for Online Support
Ruth uses client-centred therapy to place the client's experience at the heart of the work - therapists provide an accepting, empathetic environment that helps people explore their feelings and personal goals at their own pace. This approach is often helpful for issues such as loss, relationship challenges, and low self-esteem.
Attachment-based therapy is used to understand how early relationships influence current patterns of relating and emotional responses. It can support people dealing with grief, abandonment concerns, or difficulties forming close connections.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress and improve day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Ruth works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together the client and therapist review progress and adjust the focus as required.
Online therapy with Ruth can be delivered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and energy levels. These options make it easier to access consistent support without travel, and they allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care regardless of location.
