Approaches that inform online work

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps when difficulties repeat in close relationships and when someone wants more secure ways of connecting. Client-centred therapy follows the person's lead and emphasises empathy, understanding and respect to help people find their own answers. Jungian ideas bring attention to symbols, personal meaning and life stages, which can help with identity, transitions and inner conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences and life situation and together decide which ideas to draw on. This is a collaborative process that can adjust over time as needs change.

The biography does not specify session formats, so please confirm what options are offered before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, remove travel time and allow check-ins from elsewhere when that suits. It can also allow different ways of working that focus on talking, reflection and practical planning without promising a specific service format.
