Christina Tremaine

How Christina’s approaches suit online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions this helps when people notice repeating difficulties in close relationships and want to change how they connect. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of each session and supports people who need a non-judgemental space to talk through strong feelings or life changes. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and trying small practical experiments to shift them; this can be helpful for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Christina will discuss different ways of working and will tailor the plan to the client’s goals, needs and preferences. Early sessions often focus on what is most pressing and then introduce techniques or reflections that fit the person’s pace.

Online therapy provides flexibility and practical options. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier on difficult days. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection or people who prefer typing. These formats make it simpler to fit counselling around work, caregiving or other commitments while keeping the focus on steady progress.
