How Mehbuba’s approaches work in online therapy

Attachment-based work focuses on patterns in important relationships and how early connections shape current trust and closeness. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns, name feelings, and practise new ways of relating in day-to-day life. Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of conversation. The therapist listens without judgement, reflects what is said, and helps clients find their own answers. This approach suits people who want a collaborative, non-directive space to talk things through. Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a method used for distressing memories and trauma-related symptoms. In an online setting EMDR can involve guided attention tasks alongside talk work to reduce the intensity of upsetting memories and allow more balanced thinking. Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss options, invite feedback, and adjust methods to match a client’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process helps make sessions feel relevant and useful. Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit around busy days, and live chat or text messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer typing. These formats make it easier to access therapy from different time zones and life situations.
