Approaches Claire Uses in Online Therapy

Claire combines client-centred work, hypnotherapy and mindfulness-based techniques to support clients seeking online therapy. Client-Centred Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, non-judgemental space where the person’s own priorities guide the work; it helps with building self-understanding, confidence and emotional coping skills. Hypnotherapy involves guided relaxation and focused attention to address subconscious patterns and unhelpful beliefs, and can be used alongside talking therapy to support change in behaviours and responses. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and manage stress, which can be particularly helpful for anxiety, sleep issues and emotional regulation.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Claire works with each person to consider their needs, goals and preferences and adapts methods over time so that therapy feels like a good fit. Licensed professionals and therapists often blend techniques to suit the individual rather than applying a single fixed model.

Online sessions offer practical flexibility - appointments can take place by video call, by phone, via live chat or through text-based messaging. This range of options makes it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support from different locations and work in ways that feel most comfortable for the client.
