Therapeutic approaches and how they translate online
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression and problems like sleep or eating difficulties and can include simple practical exercises to try between sessions.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns that come from early relationships and how these affect current bonds. This approach can help people understand why they react a certain way in relationships and develop different ways of connecting and communicating.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Catherine will talk with each person about what feels most helpful and will adapt methods to fit individual goals and comfort. This is a collaborative process that starts with listening and then choosing techniques together.
The biography does not list specific online formats, so please confirm the available session options before booking. In general, online counselling can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Some session types also work well without video, which can be useful if bandwidth is limited or someone prefers not to be on camera. Registered or accredited professionals can work with you to find a practical arrangement that suits your life and keeps progress moving forward.
