How these approaches work in online counselling
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on understanding how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions. Online sessions can help a person notice patterns in close relationships and practise new ways of connecting or setting boundaries.Client-Centred Therapy puts the person’s experience at the centre and relies on empathic listening and reflection. In this way the counsellor helps people find their own solutions, build confidence and clarify values.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep difficulties because it gives clear techniques to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then adapt methods as progress is made. People often move between approaches as their needs change.
