How Claire works
She also works with issues around eating, sleeping, anger and self-esteem, and supports those exploring identity and LGBT concerns. Her practice includes attention to neurodiversity and related challenges, such as autism and Asperger syndrome, and she helps with attachment difficulties and social anxiety.

How Claire's approaches work online
Attachment-based work focuses on how relationships shape feelings and expectations. Online sessions using this approach often help people understand patterns in close relationships and practise new ways of relating. Client-centred therapy puts the person's experience at the centre and relies on listening and reflection to help people feel heard and clearer about their choices. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and offers practical strategies to break unhelpful cycles.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Claire will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She starts by listening to immediate concerns, then suggests ways of working and checks in regularly to adjust the plan together.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into daily life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and non-verbal cues, phone sessions can be simpler when internet bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging suit quick check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options offer flexibility for different schedules and needs while keeping the focus on practical steps and steady progress.
