Online session options
Using Narrative and Attachment work online
Many people find Narrative Therapy helpful for making sense of difficult events. Narrative work involves telling and revising the story a person carries about themselves, which can reduce shame and open up new choices. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connection patterns affect current relationships and emotions, helping people shift ways of relating that cause pain.These approaches are used in a collaborative way. The therapist will listen to your priorities, explain different methods, and try approaches that fit your goals. Finding the right mix of techniques is part of the work together rather than a one-size-fits-all prescription.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video is useful for deeper conversation and reading nonverbal cues, while phone calls can work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins, quick problem solving, and ongoing reflection between longer sessions. These options help make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
