How evidence-based approaches adapt to online therapy
Claire uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear goals and practical strategies. One common approach helps people learn to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression and panic. Another approach emphasises building skills to manage intense feelings and improve relationships, which can help with anger, intimacy issues and self-esteem.Working out the best approach is part of the first sessions. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences, and together they will choose or adapt techniques that feel right. This is a collaborative process and can change as progress is made.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, for example by reducing travel time and allowing appointments during work breaks or between commitments. It can also allow shorter check-ins when needed and remove the need to be on camera for some conversations. Please confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are available for scheduling.
