Dr. Caroline Norman, BACP

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people understand why they react strongly in relationships and supports building steadier connections. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on empathic listening and helping the person find their own solutions. It suits people who want a non-directive space to reflect and make changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) aims to identify unhelpful thinking and try practical experiments to change feelings and actions; it is often used for anxiety, depression and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will discuss what feels most useful and decide together whether to focus on practical skills, relationship patterns or deeper life history. That collaborative process helps shape short-term goals or longer-term exploration based on the client's needs and preferences.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let you work face to face when bandwidth allows, phone sessions cut down on bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break, and live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caring responsibilities and health limitations while still using the chosen therapeutic approach.
