Therapeutic approaches and online support

Aileen integrates several evidence-informed approaches to suit different needs. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns of relating and can be helpful for issues like abandonment, attachment difficulties and relationship problems by building safer ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the client’s own goals and resources, offering a non-directive, empathetic environment that supports self-discovery and improved self-esteem. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) examines the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviours and provides practical strategies to reduce anxiety, manage mood and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Aileen will work with each person to identify their priorities, preferences and goals, adapting techniques from these approaches to create a tailored plan that feels manageable and relevant. She encourages open discussion about what works and what needs adjusting as therapy progresses.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people balancing work, family or geographic limitations. Through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, Aileen provides accessible options that make it easier to attend sessions regularly, maintain continuity of care and integrate therapeutic work into everyday life.
