How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. In online sessions Marco helps people notice how old attachment styles affect trust, closeness and conflict, and then practises new ways of relating to others. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT with Marco uses simple exercises and short homework tasks to reduce anxiety, improve mood and change unhelpful behaviour patterns.rrFinding the right approach is part of the work. Marco will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has helped or not helped in the past. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan as progress is made.rrOnline sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video lets people use visual cues and more in-depth conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need brief, on-the-go support. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and to connect with a therapist from different locations.
