Remote sessions and therapeutic methods
Dr. Rumley combines Attachment-Based Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy to explore relationship patterns and support personal insight. Attachment-Based work focuses on how early and current relationships shape expectations and responses, while Client-Centered therapy centers the person’s own perspective and priorities, creating space for individuals to guide the pace and focus of sessions. Those approaches can be useful for people who want to examine how connections with others relate to current stress and coping.
She also integrates Mindfulness techniques to help people notice and work with present-moment experience without judgment. Mindfulness practices are described in accessible ways to support emotional regulation and reduce reactivity. Sessions are collaborative and typically involve setting goals together, reflecting on patterns, and experimenting with small, practical changes. Remote options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Dr. Rumley has noted a preference for video sessions and is open to phone sessions when that is more comfortable.
