Mariya Henderson, BACP

Attachment-based work focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns. It helps people understand attachment needs, trust and closeness issues so they can build healthier connections with others. Client-centred therapy puts the person’s experience at the heart of sessions. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what she hears and gives space for the client to find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and introduces simple exercises to test and change unhelpful patterns.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Mariya will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together they will decide which methods to try. That collaborative planning can change over time as needs shift and small experiments show what helps most.

Online working offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people see facial cues and run deeper conversations while phone sessions can work better when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit those who prefer writing, want flexible timing, or need a way to reflect between messages. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel, and allow ongoing support from registered or accredited professionals regardless of location.
