Therapeutic approaches suited to online sessions
Trauma-focused therapy helps people look at how past painful events still affect their day-to-day life and aims to reduce the strength of those reactions. It often involves gradually working through memories and learning ways to manage distressing feelings. Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current connection patterns and can help people understand and change how they relate to others. Client-centred therapy offers a supportive, non-judgemental space where the person leads the pace and topics of sessions and the therapist follows with empathy and reflection.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Michaela will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their goals, needs and preferences. She will adjust the focus over time as progress is made and new challenges arise.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow conversation that feels closer to face-to-face. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text work well for shorter updates or when writing helps someone reflect. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep momentum between appointments.
