How Karin's approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships shape current reactions and connections. Online sessions can be used to notice patterns in how people relate and to practise different ways of connecting within conversations.

Client-centred counselling places the person's experience at the heart of the session. The counsellor listens without judgement, reflects what is said and helps people find their own answers to worries like anxiety, grief or anger.

Cognitive behavioural ideas look at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions. In sessions the counsellor and client identify unhelpful patterns and test small changes or coping strategies in everyday life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Karin will discuss goals and preferences and together with the client will decide which methods to prioritise. This is a collaborative process that can shift as needs change.

Please confirm the current session options before booking as formats are not specified in the profile. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find it simpler to maintain regular sessions and to try out strategies between meetings when therapy fits around their life.
