How Veronica’s approaches work online

Veronica commonly draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on thoughts, emotions and behaviour. Cognitive approaches help people identify unhelpful thinking patterns and practise different ways of responding, which is useful for anxiety, depression and low self-esteem.

She also uses interpersonal and attachment-focused techniques to look at how early relationships influence current patterns. This helps people understand fears of abandonment, codependency and communication problems and learn new ways to connect with others.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Veronica works collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s goals and preferences. She reviews progress and adjusts the plan, so the work stays relevant to what the person wants to change.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls allow fuller conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and live chat or text messaging can fit into busy days or provide ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier for people to keep therapy going around work, family and other commitments.
