How Clare’s approaches work in online therapy
Clare draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and mindfulness therapy to support people through emotional and practical challenges. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and creating an accepting space so the client’s own goals and insights lead the work; it is helpful for building trust, self-understanding, and confidence. CBT looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and behaviours and uses structured techniques to reduce anxiety, challenge unhelpful thinking, and develop coping strategies for depression and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to help manage overwhelming emotions and increase present-moment awareness, which can reduce reactivity and improve emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Clare works collaboratively with each person to identify what fits best for their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques and the pace of work so therapy feels relevant and achievable.
Online sessions - including video calls, phone appointments, live chat, or text-based messaging - offer flexibility for people juggling work, family, or health commitments. These options make it easier to access registered professionals from home or elsewhere, reducing travel time and allowing therapy to fit more naturally into daily life while still delivering focused, evidence-informed support.
