How approaches guide online counselling
Reanne draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationship patterns shape current trust and closeness. This work helps people understand why certain relationships or reactions feel familiar and can be useful for those facing midlife relationship questions or abandonment concerns.She also uses Client-Centred Therapy, which focuses on listening without judgement and following the person's agenda in session. That approach helps when someone needs space to name feelings about identity, grief or life direction. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical experiments to lower anxiety or improve mood.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy journey. Reanne will discuss different methods and work with the person to choose which to try based on their needs, goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process and can change over time as issues evolve.
If you are considering online work, check the available session options before booking as the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make talking fit around daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also be easier to arrange sessions across different locations, so practical rhythms of work and care can be better managed.
