Online support
Approaches that inform online sessions
Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps people name and work through strong emotions that fuel relationship and attachment patterns. It aims to shift how emotions are understood so interactions feel safer and more connected.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on values and committed action. It teaches how to notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, then take steps that match what matters most to the person.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they show up now. It helps people understand attachment needs and practice new ways of relating to reduce anxiety and isolation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean trying emotion-focused work first, then adding skill-based strategies like ACT or CBT as needed.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue steady progress.
