Therapeutic approaches and online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses; it helps people understand attachment styles and improve intimacy, trust, and communication in relationships. Somatic Therapy focuses on the body's role in processing feelings and regulation, offering practical ways to notice and work with bodily signals to reduce overwhelm and strengthen nervous system balance. Trauma-Focused Therapy concentrates on gently addressing the impact of traumatic experiences, helping individuals process distressing memories and build resilience in everyday life.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Pippa works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they explore options and adjust the plan as progress is made, ensuring the work feels meaningful and manageable.

Online therapy with Pippa can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access support from home or other convenient locations and allow therapists and clients to shape a rhythm of sessions that fits practical life demands while maintaining ongoing therapeutic momentum.
