Approaches that translate to online bereavement and relationship work

Christina Tremaine draws on well-established approaches that adapt effectively to remote sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on patterns of relating and attachment - it helps with issues such as abandonment, intimacy concerns and relationship difficulties by exploring early bonds and how they affect present relationships. Client-Centred Therapy places the client at the heart of the process, offering empathic listening and unconditional positive regard to support work on grief, self-esteem and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and can be useful for anxiety, depression, obsessions and addiction-related difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Christina works collaboratively to identify the best fit for each person’s needs, goals and preferences. She combines methods where appropriate and reviews progress together to refine the plan.

Online therapy with Christina can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access regular support while balancing work, family and other commitments, and they allow therapists and clients to maintain continuity of care across life changes.
