How Vanessa's approaches work in online therapy
Attachment-Based work focuses on patterns in close relationships and how early bonds shape current trust and connection. It can help people who struggle with fear of abandonment, attachment issues or difficulties in intimate relationships. Client-Centred therapy emphasises being heard without judgement and helping people find their own direction. This approach supports those seeking a non-directive space to talk through feelings and explore choices. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) offers structured ways to spot unhelpful thoughts and test alternative responses. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and unhelpful behaviour patterns. Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and practical needs, and together they will try methods that suit the person. Work may mix approaches and change over time as needs evolve. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people keep continuity of care when they are travelling or living abroad.
