Emanuela Bassi, PACFA

Relational, person-centred and trauma-informed online care

Emanuela primarily draws on person-centred and trauma-informed approaches in her online practice. The person-centred approach focuses on building a trusting, empathetic relationship that supports clients to explore their feelings and values at their own pace; it is helpful for issues like depression, low self-worth and life transitions. A trauma-informed approach recognises how past harm and overwhelm affect present relationships and reactions, and it emphasises safety, pacing and collaboration while addressing anxiety, trauma responses and dissociation. Her work is also deeply relational, attending to how patterns in close relationships shape current difficulties such as attachment problems, codependency and communication struggles.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself. Emanuela collaborates with each person to identify what feels most helpful based on their needs, goals and preferences, and she adjusts methods as therapy progresses to ensure the best fit. Clients are invited to shape the pace and focus of sessions so the approach evolves with them.

Online therapy with Emanuela is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These options allow people to engage from home or other convenient locations, fit support into busy schedules, and maintain continuity of care regardless of day-to-day demands.
