About Claire
She adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all method. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer ways of understanding feelings and behaviour. Claire listens first, then helps clients identify small changes that can make daily life easier.
Her work has also included areas such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger syndrome, blended family issues and challenges related to cancer or chronic illness. She supports people facing caregiver stress, codependency, commitment and control issues, and problems around divorce and separation.
Claire uses a mix of talking approaches to help people untangle their concerns and find patterns that get in the way. She tailors techniques to the person’s pace, aiming for conversations that feel manageable and grounded in everyday life.
People who want to start will complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. Claire works in English and does not take international clients.
How Claire’s approaches can work online
Claire uses client-centred listening to make space for each person's story. This approach focuses on understanding the person's perspective and responding with respect, which helps when sorting through strong emotions or relationship worries.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. CBT offers practical strategies to try at home, such as breaking problems into smaller steps and testing different responses to reduce anxiety or low mood.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claire will work with the client to choose which methods suit their goals and pace, and she will adjust techniques as therapy progresses so sessions stay relevant and useful.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm current session options before booking. Many people find remote work helps fit therapy into a busy week, reduces travel time and makes attending sessions easier around work or caregiving. Online therapy can also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or conversations that focus on practical tools to try between sessions.
