Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support
Claire works primarily within a person-centered approach and integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and attachment-informed ideas into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on providing empathy, acceptance and active listening to help people explore their experience and build self-awareness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers practical tools and techniques to identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that contribute to distress and to develop alternative coping strategies. Attachment-based ideas look at how early relationship patterns can influence current connections and emotional responses, which can be helpful when addressing relationship difficulties and grief.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Claire takes a collaborative stance - she will work with clients to identify which methods best match their needs, goals and preferences and adapt the work as therapy progresses. Registered professionals and therapists often blend approaches to suit each person's circumstances.
Online therapy with Claire is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, allowing flexibility in how and when clients access support. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy around work, family and other commitments while maintaining continuity of care across locations.
