How evidence-based approaches guide online therapy

Clare uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage everyday problems. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and low mood. This helps with stress, worry and depression by giving practical steps to try between sessions.

Another helpful method looks at relationships and communication. It explores patterns in how people relate to others and helps build clearer ways to express needs and set boundaries, useful for relationship strain and family conflict.

Finding the right approach is a joint task. Clare works collaboratively to understand your goals and preferences, then suggests which techniques to focus on. She will check in as therapy progresses and adapt the plan based on what is working for you.

If you are considering online therapy, please confirm the session formats offered when you book because the biography does not list specific options. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow quicker access to support. Others like shorter check-ins by phone or audio when video is difficult. Clare can discuss which arrangement will best fit your routine and needs during the initial match and scheduling process.
