How Claire's approaches translate to online counselling
Claire often uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy focuses on spotting unhelpful thought and behaviour patterns and trying small, practical experiments to change them; this can help with anxiety, depression and anger. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy looks at what matters most to a person and teaches skills to act in line with those values despite difficult feelings, which can be useful for coping, addictions and life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire treats this as a collaboration and will discuss which methods fit your needs, goals and preferences. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the plan as you learn what helps.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people keep sessions in a familiar setting and try exercises between meetings, which can speed up learning practical coping skills.
