Adrian works collaboratively with clients to co-create a treatment plan that reflects their values, goals, and lived experience.

Emotion-Focused and Attachment Work Delivered Online

Adrian uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy and attachment-based approaches to help clients understand how patterns of connection and separation shape emotional life. Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on the emotional bonds between partners and helps couples identify and change interaction patterns that lead to distance or conflict, while attachment-based therapy explores early and adult attachment needs to improve closeness and regulation.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey. Adrian collaborates with each person or couple to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adapting techniques as the work unfolds so clients feel involved in planning and progress.

Online therapy with Adrian is offered via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexible options to fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access skilled, licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations, and they support continuity of care across life changes and busy routines.
