Focus areas and approaches

Everything Claire lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How evidence-based approaches meet online therapy

Claire uses well-established therapeutic techniques suited to practical change. One common approach she uses focuses on learning coping skills for anxiety and panic. This method teaches simple steps for managing intense feelings and reducing avoidance behaviours, helping people regain confidence in day-to-day activities.

Another approach concentrates on trauma and recovery work. It helps people make sense of painful experiences and develop safer ways to manage triggers and dissociation. This work often includes gradual exposure to difficult memories and building steady emotional regulation skills.

Finding the right approach is part of the process and Claire treats it as a team effort. She will listen to your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your situation and adjust them as you progress. Decisions about technique are made together so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let you speak face to face, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging can be used for shorter check-ins or when typing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, study or family routines and to keep continuity even when schedules change.
