Online support
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people understand and change how they relate to others. This can support people dealing with abandonment, attachment issues, relationship strain or the effects of past trauma.
Finding the right way of working is part of therapy. Nicola will work with each person to decide which approaches suit their goals, needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where methods are adjusted over time as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone session, live chat or text-based messaging. Video calls let people use visual connection for deeper conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is lower, and messaging or live chat can suit quick check-ins or people who prefer not to use video. These options make counselling more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and daily life.
