She helps clients identify small, manageable steps they can take to feel more in control and more confident.

Discussions can include managing panic symptoms, addressing attachment concerns, and working through guilt or shame. The work is collaborative and paced to each person. Claire-Louise listens, reflects, and offers straightforward tools to try between sessions.
She encourages self-compassion and practical problem solving rather than quick fixes. Sessions are conducted in English and are available to international clients. Formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Practical therapeutic approaches and online access
Claire-Louise uses straightforward evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building coping skills. One common approach she uses helps people notice and test anxious thoughts, then try small behavioural steps to reduce avoidance and regain confidence. This approach suits worries, panic symptoms and day-to-day anxiety.She also works with strategies that target emotional regulation and self-compassion. These techniques support people dealing with grief, shame, guilt and compassion fatigue by teaching ways to soothe strong feelings and treat oneself with more kindness. Work often includes short exercises to practise between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through the options and tailor techniques to a person’s goals, preferences and life circumstances. Decisions are reviewed regularly so the plan can change as progress is made.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and deeper work, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging suit brief check-ins, emotional support between sessions, or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving or travel and offer flexibility for different strengths and routines.
