Therapeutic approaches and working online

Claire uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on relationships and behavior. One approach helps identify and change recurring interaction patterns between family members by mapping what happens in common conflicts and trying new ways to respond. This can reduce repeated arguments and improve communication.

Another approach concentrates on attachment and caregiving patterns. It helps caregivers recognize how past experiences shape current responses and practices, then try hands-on strategies to support stronger parent-child connections and manage caregiver stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will collaborate with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and day-to-day life, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made. This is a joint process where goals and practical steps are agreed on together.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm the available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow short check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also make it simpler to include different family members at times that work for schedules.
