Online session options
How narrative and attachment work online
Therapy online can support reflective work with stories and relationships. Narrative Therapy helps people step back from a painful story and see other possibilities; it is useful for low mood, identity questions, grief and recurring patterns. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current reactions and relationships and can help with anxiety, intimacy issues and trust concerns.These approaches are offered within a person-centred frame that keeps the client's priorities central. Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work - the therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then adapt the approach together as therapy progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging to suit different needs. Video allows face-to-face conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it simpler to fit therapy around work, caring duties and other commitments while keeping the focus on practical progress and emotional support.
