Approaches used in online sessions and what they aim to do
Hattie draws on evidence-based techniques that help people change unhelpful patterns. One common approach helps people identify and test the beliefs that keep them stuck, using brief experiments and behavioral changes to shift mood and confidence. This is useful for anxiety, low self-esteem, and social avoidance.Another approach focuses on relationships and attachment. It looks at how past wounds affect current closeness and communication, and practices clearer ways of asking for needs and setting boundaries. That work can help with relationship stress, breakup recovery, and recurring conflict.
Finding the right method is part of the work. Hattie treats the choice of approach as collaborative and will help decide what fits best based on the client's goals, history, and preferences. She may adapt methods over time as people try them and report what helps.
Practical benefits of online sessions depend on the formats offered. The original biography did not list session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They also let people use phone-only or lower-bandwidth options if video is difficult, which can help focus on the conversation rather than the technology.
