How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Laura combines trauma-focused ideas with attachment-based and person-centred ways of working to support people in online sessions. Trauma-focused work aims to help people process distressing experiences by pacing interventions and focusing on stabilisation and coping skills; it is often used for survivors of abuse or other traumatic events. Attachment-based therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people build more supported ways of relating and regulating emotions. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of sessions and uses empathy and acceptance to help people find clarity and change.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify what fits a person’s needs, goals and preferences, and may use elements from different models to tailor sessions. That decision is reviewed over time so the work stays relevant and helpful.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which offer practical flexibility. Video works well when visual contact helps the conversation, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits brief check-ins or people who prefer typing, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, travel and daily life while keeping the focus on what the person wants to achieve.
