Therapeutic approaches and online support
Laura uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early relationships influence current patterns of feeling and relating. This work helps when people notice repeating relationship hurts, fear of abandonment, or trouble trusting others and themselves.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing them with small behavioural experiments. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, sleep and for building practical coping skills in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your concerns, goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. Decisions about focus and pace are made collaboratively, so the plan can change as needs evolve.
Online therapy is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful when visual cues help the conversation. Phone sessions can work well when a shorter check-in or lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and messaging suit people who prefer writing to talking or want brief, frequent contact between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel commitments.
