How these approaches work online
Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people gently process the impact of distressing events. Online sessions allow a person to talk through memories and reactions, and to practise grounding and coping skills between meetings.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns in close connections. In online work this can mean discussing family roles, noticing recurring behaviours, and trying out new ways of relating in everyday life.
EMDR is an approach used to reduce the emotional charge of upsetting memories. In remote sessions Suzanne can guide a client through the EMDR process step by step, using eye movements or other bilateral stimulation adapted for the online setting.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most helpful, then agree a plan that can change as needs evolve. This collaborative process helps make sure the chosen methods match the person’s pace and readiness.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth sessions and EMDR, phone can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat suits shorter check-ins or when someone wants to reflect in writing. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caring duties or travel.
