Approaches that inform online care and support

In practice this approach helps people explore attachment wounds, improve communication, and build more secure ways of relating to partners, family members, and themselves.Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own experience and values, offering an empathic space where the therapist follows the client's lead. This approach supports self-exploration, increases self-esteem, and helps with life transitions by emphasizing personal strengths and autonomy.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress.
