Approaches that translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current reactions and close ties. It helps people understand why they feel disconnected, anxious or avoidant in relationships and supports building more stable ways of relating.

Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening and understanding a person’s experience without judgement. It gives people space to speak freely while the counsellor reflects back and helps clarify what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and test them against real-life evidence. It is often used for anxiety, panic and workplace stress by teaching practical tools to change thinking and behaviour.

Solange will work with each person to find the right mix of approaches. She discusses goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, and then adapts methods together as therapy progresses. That collaborative process helps people know why a particular technique is being used and when to try something different.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging, giving flexibility for different needs. Video calls suit conversations that benefit from face-to-face contact, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, live chat can suit shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel commitments while maintaining continuity of care.
