Background and approach

This often supports recovery after trauma and helps with ongoing stress and chronic illness. Her background includes client-centred and cognitive behavioural approaches alongside attachment-based and existential ideas. She uses these tools flexibly, shaping the work around what a person finds most helpful.

The aim is to build coping skills and clearer self-understanding rather than follow a single method. Celia has particular experience with attachment concerns such as abandonment and trust issues. She also supports people facing caregiving strain, divorce and separation, chronic pain or long-term illness, and work through guilt or shame.

She pays attention to how past relationships affect current patterns. Practical steps in sessions might include grounding exercises, gentle body awareness, thought-challenging and short goal-based tasks between meetings. Celia encourages people to bring their whole experience to the room, including physical sensations, memories and present worries.

She works in the United Kingdom and converses in English. People can expect a collaborative relationship where their perspective guides each step of the work.

How somatic and attachment approaches work online

Somatic Therapy focuses on how sensations in the body connect to emotions and memories. Online sessions use guided body-awareness exercises, breath work and grounding to help people notice tension and release it, which can support recovery from trauma and reduce persistent stress.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and emotional responses. In an online setting this approach involves talking through relational history, noticing repeating patterns and practising new ways of relating both during and between sessions.

Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre and relies on empathy and active listening. It creates space for people to tell their story at their own pace, which can be especially helpful for processing difficult feelings and building self-trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and together you will decide what best fits your needs, goals and preferences. This collaborative process means methods can be adapted over time as progress is made.

Online therapy offers practical benefits in flexibility and access. Video calls let you meet face to face, phone sessions reduce screen time, and live chat or text-based messaging can suit people who prefer writing or need brief check-ins. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life and to maintain regular contact with a registered or accredited professional when needed.
