Louisa Cibrian, BACP

The attachment-based approach looks at how early relationships shape current ways of relating. It helps people understand why certain patterns feel familiar and how to develop more supported ways of connecting with others.

Client-centred work keeps the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist follows the client’s pace, listens without judgement and helps people uncover their own answers to difficult questions.

Psychodynamic ideas focus on recurring themes that link past experience to present behaviour. This can be useful for people who want to better understand long-standing patterns and the feelings behind them.

Finding the right approach is a shared process. Louisa will talk through different options and tailor methods to the client’s goals and preferences. That collaborative step helps decide whether to focus on understanding, practical coping, or a mix of both.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls are close to face-to-face work while letting people save travel time. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be useful for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief, ongoing support between sessions or when writing feels easier than talking. These formats make it simpler to fit therapy around work, family and daily life.
