Sessions & fees
How attachment work and CBT translate to online therapy
Attachment-based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape feelings and reactions. Online sessions use conversation to notice patterns, develop new ways of relating and practise different responses to conflict or closeness.Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the session. The therapist listens without judging and helps the client find their own solutions, whether the session is by video, phone or messaging.
Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches clear tools to change unhelpful cycles. This approach suits problems such as anxiety, low mood, sleeping difficulties and many stress responses, and works well across talk and written formats.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss which methods fit the client’s aims and preferences, and adjust the way sessions are run as trust develops and goals change.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls are useful when visual cues and a conversational flow matter, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a work break. Live chat and text-based messaging can work well for short check-ins, written reflection or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals provide these options so people can choose what suits them best.
