Online approaches for relationship and anger work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships. It helps people notice patterns in closeness and conflict and learn different ways of connecting. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying core emotions in relationship moments and reshaping how partners respond to each other to reduce cycles of blame and withdrawal.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Helen will discuss different ways of working and choose methods together with each person, guided by their goals and what feels most useful. The decision is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.
