Susan Morris, BACP

Therapy approaches and online options that fit your life

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and patterns. It helps people who notice repeated difficulties in trust, closeness or fear of abandonment to understand those reactions and try different ways of relating.

Client-centred counselling puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The counsellor follows the client’s pace, listens without judgement and helps people make sense of their feelings so they can decide what to change.

Cognitive behavioural techniques focus on the connection between thoughts, feelings and actions. This approach offers simple exercises to test unhelpful beliefs and build more helpful habits for anxiety, low mood and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they will choose which methods to try. This collaborative process helps tailor sessions to what actually helps the individual.

Online therapy brings practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing expressions matters. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter reflections, notes between sessions or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and caregiving demands while keeping the focus on progress and practical coping.
