How Louise's approaches work online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape expectations today. It helps people notice repeating patterns and build more secure ways of relating, which can ease anxiety and relationship strain. Client-Centred Therapy puts the persons experience at the centre and relies on careful listening and empathy to help people find their own answers and make changes that feel right. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Louise will discuss goals and preferences and then agree a plan together. That collaborative decision may blend listening, reflective work and practical techniques so the approach fits the person and their situation. She offers telephone and video appointments; please confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time and have appointments outside normal office hours. Phone sessions can be useful when a brief check-in is needed or when a video call is impractical, while video lets the therapist and client use visual cues during conversations.
