Therapeutic approaches and online care
Verity draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to explore how early relationships influence current patterns of relating. This approach looks at emotional bonds and can be helpful for people struggling with intimacy, attachment issues, or long-standing relationship patterns.
She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which emphasises attentive listening and the therapist's empathic presence. This approach helps clients gain clarity, self-acceptance, and the confidence to make changes at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another tool in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying and adjusting unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and is often used for anxiety, stress, low mood, and sleep difficulties.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Verity works collaboratively with each person to consider their needs, goals, and preferences and to select or blend approaches that make the most sense for them.
Online therapy with Verity can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people balancing work, family, or mobility needs. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into everyday life while working with licensed professionals and therapists who can adapt methods to an online setting.
