How Clare adapts therapeutic approaches for online work

Clare draws on integrative, evidence-based techniques that are adapted to each person's needs. One approach she commonly uses involves helping people recognise unhelpful patterns in relationships and day-to-day life, then trying small, practical changes to shift those patterns. This is useful for anxiety, communication problems and low mood.

Another approach focuses on attachment and abandonment themes, helping people understand how past relationships shape current feelings and reactions. That work can reduce isolation and improve how someone connects with others. Clare blends these techniques in a way that suits each person's goals and pace.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Clare will discuss different methods and decide collaboratively which fits best with your needs, goals and preferences. She aims to adjust techniques as therapy progresses so the work stays relevant.

The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so please confirm the available formats before booking. In general, online therapy can make fitting sessions into a busy life easier and reduce travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins or phone options when video is difficult, helping people keep continuity of care alongside everyday commitments.
