Approaches for Online Counselling and Hypnotherapy
Claire Ashby often works from a client-centred perspective, placing the person’s own experience and priorities at the heart of sessions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to develop practical strategies for managing anxiety, low mood and stress. Hypnotherapy is offered to promote deep relaxation and to support change at a subconscious level, which can be helpful for sleep difficulties, phobias and entrenched habits.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Claire collaborates with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals and preferences, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds so the work stays relevant and achievable.
