How Claudelle works
Sessions aim to increase self-awareness and teach skills to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Her approach combines attachment-based ideas with cognitive behavioural techniques and mindfulness. She also uses the Gottman Method when relationship work is needed.
Claudelle adapts these methods to the needs of the person in front of her, using straightforward exercises and real-life examples. People can expect calm, respectful discussion and clear tools to manage symptoms and improve daily functioning. Claudelle values feedback during therapy and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
She places practical change and emotional understanding at the centre of the work. Sessions are offered in Australia and conducted in English. Claudelle works with adults and with couples, tailoring interventions to the situation and stage of life.
Her background includes supporting people through chronic illness, caregiving stress, grief, domestic violence impacts and separation challenges.

Online support options
Online approaches that focus on relationships and daily coping
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early attachment patterns affect current relationships and emotional responses. It helps people understand why they react in certain ways and supports change in how they connect with others. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, which can reduce anxiety and improve mood. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce stress and increase emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Claudelle works collaboratively with each person to choose the best fit based on their goals, needs and preferences. She will try different strategies and adjust the plan as progress is made so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls suit longer sessions and visual connection, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and health commitments while keeping the focus on practical change and emotional growth.
