Online support
Attachment and emotion-focused approaches for online care
Thomas uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early bonds shape current relationships, helping clients notice patterns that repeat in intimacy and family life. This approach is useful for people dealing with abandonment, attachment wounds, or deep trust issues.He also draws on Emotionally-Focused Therapy to map the cycle of interaction that drives conflict and disconnection. EFT helps people name underlying emotions and try new responses that shift the cycle toward closeness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used alongside these approaches to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice different behaviors that support relationship goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Thomas will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and the problems they want to solve. He listens to what is working and adjusts the plan over time so the approach fits the person rather than the other way around.
Online sessions are available by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits quicker check-ins, and text messaging lets people write through thoughts between sessions. These options help therapy fit into busy lives and varied schedules.
