Stephanie Witt, NCPS

Stephanie often combines attachment-based ideas with client-centred and CBT techniques. Attachment-based work looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and helps people notice repeating patterns in trust and closeness. Client-centred therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s pace so they lead what feels most important in sessions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and gives practical steps to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk about goals and try different ways of working until something fits. This collaborative process helps people choose methods that match their needs, preferences and what they want to change.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, which give flexibility around work, family and travel. Video calls are good for a fuller face-to-face feel, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break, and messaging or live chat suit brief check-ins or quieter days. Many people find online sessions make it simpler to keep therapy consistent alongside day-to-day life.
