Approaches that shape online sessions
Suzanne blends person-centred listening with attachment-based ideas to help people untangle long-standing patterns and current difficulties. Client-centred work means the person sets the pace and the topics, while attachment-based thinking looks at how early relationships may influence stress, trust and connection now.She also uses trauma-focused methods, including Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR), when people need support processing distressing memories. EMDR is a structured approach used to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories and the emotional reactions that come with them, and it is often used alongside other trauma-focused techniques.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Suzanne will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals and preferences. That conversation can happen in the first sessions and evolve as therapeutic work progresses.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions where seeing each other matters, phone calls suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, live chat gives a typed conversation in real time and messaging lets people write down thoughts between sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, caregiving or busy lives.
