Online support options
How Susan’s approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns affect present relationships and feelings. Online sessions can focus on recognising those patterns and practising new ways of relating that reduce worry and isolation.Client-Centred Therapy places the person’s experience at the centre and emphasises listening and acceptance. In this approach sessions are led by the client’s concerns and paced to what feels manageable, which suits gentle, steady progress online.
Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and teaches clear strategies to change them. It works well online because tools and homework can be shared easily between sessions and reviewed together on video or text.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Susan will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods to try first. That collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what will be most useful for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical benefits like fitting sessions around work, avoiding travel time and using different communication styles. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction, phone sessions suit lower bandwidth or hands-free catch-ups, live chat works for shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to maintain continuity and build steady progress.
