How Kaye's approaches translate to online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections shape current relationships and feelings. It helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and what might help them feel steadier. Client-Centred Therapy centres on the person's experience and aims to provide a listening, non-judgemental space to explore goals and choices.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.
Practical benefits of online work include easier fitting of sessions into a busy life and reduced travel time. Some formats need less bandwidth or allow a shorter check-in when that suits your day. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists often use remote sessions to help people maintain consistency while balancing work, family and other commitments.
