How Rimpy uses therapy online

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early connections affect current relationships and emotional safety. Online sessions using this approach help people notice patterns in their close relationships and find new ways to connect and relate. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on the person’s experience and choices, offering a nonjudgemental space where a counsellor listens and reflects so the client can find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) works on practical links between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches techniques to reduce anxiety, tackle unhelpful thinking and manage mood.

Choosing which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful, and then agree a plan together. This collaborative process means methods can be mixed and adjusted as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for a full conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions suit people who need a quicker check-in or lower bandwidth. Live chat and messaging let someone pause, reflect and reply in writing, and can fit into busy days. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit around work, family and travel commitments.
