Approach-Focused Care Delivered Online
Claire integrates client-centred therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her online practice to meet a range of needs. Client-centred therapy emphasises genuine listening, empathy and acceptance so clients can explore emotions, values and relationship patterns at their own pace; it can be helpful for issues such as low self-esteem, grief and relational difficulties. CBT offers structured, practical tools to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns, and is often used to address anxiety, depression and chronic low mood.
Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Claire works collaboratively with each client to determine what fits best. She tailors sessions to individual goals and preferences, blending reflective, person-led work with practical strategies where appropriate, so clients feel involved in decisions about their care.
Online therapy with Claire is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier for clients to access ongoing support from registered professionals and therapists regardless of location, helping to maintain continuity of care around busy lives and changing circumstances.
