Θεμέλιο κάθε παρέμβασής της αποτελεί η θεραπευτική σχέση που χτίζει με τους θεραπευόμενούς της, μια σχέση που βασίζεται στην ενσυναίσθηση, την κατανόηση και το σεβασμό. Μέσα σε αυτόν τον ασφαλή θεραπευτικό χώρο υποστηρίζεται ο κάθε θεραπευόμενος ώστε να εκφράσει και να διερευνήσει τις σκέψεις και τα συναισθήματά του, να αναγνωρίσει δυσλειτουργικές συμπεριφορές ή σχέσεις που μπορεί να συνδέονται με πρώιμες εμπειρίες, να αναζητήσει τους παράγοντες που συμβάλλουν στις παρούσες δυσκολίες και να επιλέξει πιθανούς τρόπους αντιμετώπισής τους.
