How Trauma-Informed and Attachment Work Translate Online
Daphne uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to help people process difficult experiences and reduce the hold those memories have on everyday life. This approach focuses on addressing the impact of trauma and building skills for coping with triggers and overwhelming emotions.She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to help people notice patterns in close relationships and form safer ways of relating. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her practice too, which means sessions follow the person's pace and priorities while the therapist offers empathy and nonjudgmental support.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Daphne will work with each person to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients are invited to give feedback so the work stays practical and relevant to daily life.
