Client-Centred and Integrative Support Delivered Online
Clare works primarily with client-centred therapy, a way of working that places the person’s own experience at the centre of sessions. This approach focuses on active listening, empathy, and helping clients find their own solutions, which can be especially helpful for issues like anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions.She also uses elements of an integrative approach, drawing on different techniques where helpful to suit the individual. Integrative work can include practical tools and reflective exercises that support coping, decision-making, and emotional processing when a single method does not fit every situation.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Clare collaborates with each client to determine what feels most helpful based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. She aims to adapt methods and pace so therapy remains relevant and effective for the individual.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules or those who find remote sessions more accessible. These formats allow clients to attend sessions from different locations, choose the mode of communication that suits them best, and maintain consistency in care even when life is changing.
