These techniques support people navigating grief, career transitions, caregiver stress, or feelings of isolation by offering tools to use between sessions.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Claire-Louise collaborates with each client to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting the plan so it fits the individual’s needs.
