Joanna Markvoort-Weijters, BACP

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and close relationships shape current connections and trust. Online sessions using this approach can help people notice patterns in their relationships and practise different ways of relating in day-to-day life. Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of the work, with the counsellor offering non-judgemental listening and support. In remote sessions this approach creates space for the person to lead the conversation and set their own pace for change. Finding the right approach is part of the process. Joanna works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person's goals, needs and preferences, and she adjusts the way she works as understanding grows. Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help the work. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit brief sessions into a busy day or to keep a running conversation between meetings. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to maintain steady support over time.
