Online support options
How Sally’s approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they repeat certain behaviours in relationships and supports building more supported ways of connecting.Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding. The counsellor offers acceptance and reflection, helping people to explore feelings and discover their own solutions at their own pace.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is practical and action-oriented. It helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioural experiments to reduce anxiety, low mood or other symptoms.
Sally will work with each person to decide which approach, or combination, fits best. She treats the choice as a collaboration - they will review what helps and adjust the plan as therapy progresses.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues during conversation. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or text sessions can suit short check-ins, flexible scheduling or those who find typing easier than speaking.
These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and family life, and allow people to continue contact if they move location or are overseas. Registered or accredited professionals provide sessions and adapt methods to work effectively online.
