Therapy approaches you can use online
Wendy often combines trauma-focused methods and attachment-based work. Trauma-focused approaches aim to help people process distressing experiences and reduce how much those memories affect daily life, using careful pacing and body-aware techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape current feelings and coping, helping people recognise and change unhelpful ways of relating.She also uses client-centred principles, which place the person’s experience and goals at the heart of sessions. That means conversations focus on what matters to the client and build from their priorities. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative - Wendy will discuss options, try things out and adapt as goals and needs become clearer.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for this work. Video calls let the therapist and client use facial cues and tone in real time, which helps with attachment and trauma processing. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, homework reviews and ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring duties and everyday life.
