How different approaches work online
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current emotional patterns. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and practise new ways of connecting and trusting others.Client-Centred Therapy emphasises being heard and accepted. The counsellor offers empathic listening and follows the person’s lead, which can make phone or text work useful for people who prefer gentler pacing.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on emotions in relationships and on changing negative cycles. It can help with intimacy-related issues and attachment concerns through focused conversations and emotion-sensing exercises in video sessions.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Martin will talk with each person about their goals, needs and preferences and then suggest ways of working together. That decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow visual connection for deeper emotional work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between sessions or to work without being on camera. These options give flexibility for different schedules and communication styles.
