Approaches used online and what to expect



Clare draws on client-centered therapy to create a supportive space where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on empathetic listening and helping people feel understood while they explore goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns and to develop practical skills for managing symptoms such as anxiety and low mood. Mindfulness therapy offers simple techniques for grounding attention in the present moment, which can reduce overwhelm and support emotional regulation during stressful periods.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Clare works with each person to assess needs, preferences, and goals, and together they agree on strategies that feel manageable and relevant to daily life. This flexible mindset helps tailor sessions to what will be most useful for the individual.

Online therapy with Clare can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing options that fit different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work, family commitments, or mobility limitations while still working with licensed professionals and therapists who focus on practical, accessible support.
