How attachment, CBT and person‑centred work translate online
Victoria often draws on Attachment-Based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This helps when repeat relationship problems or abandonment fears affect daily thinking and behaviour.She uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small changes. CBT offers concrete exercises and short experiments that suit online conversation and follow-up between sessions.
Client-Centred (person‑centred) approaches shape how she listens. The focus is on being curious about your experience and adapting pace and techniques to what feels most useful for you.
Finding the right approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will help you decide collaboratively which methods suit your goals and preferences, and may blend elements from different approaches as needs become clearer.
Session arrangements are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Many people find online work useful because it can fit more easily around daily life, reduce travel time and make shorter check-ins simpler to arrange. Online conversations can also make it easier to carry out practical tasks between sessions, such as worksheets or behaviour experiments, without changing your routine.
