Step 3
How Claire’s approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions based on personal values. It is often used when someone wants clearer direction through anxiety, stress or life changes. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting thoughts and behaviours that keep difficulties going and testing small changes to reduce distress. It suits worries, low mood and many practical problems. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people try different ways of connecting and relating, which can be useful for relationship or intimacy concerns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what feels useful. Together they decide which ideas to try and adapt them as progress is made. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make access possible for people who live far from services or who need to join from a different time zone. Registered or accredited professionals use these ways of working to help people apply therapeutic tools in everyday life.
