Therapeutic approaches and online counselling options
Clare describes her work as integrative, drawing from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to meet individual needs. One common approach she uses is relational work, which focuses on the quality of the counselling relationship to help someone feel heard and understood and to address patterns in relationships and attachment issues.Another strand she often includes is trauma-informed care, which pays attention to past hurt and how it affects current functioning, helping people manage triggers and rebuild a sense of safety in everyday life. Both approaches are practical and aimed at helping people make changes that matter to them.
Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. Clare will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and adapt techniques accordingly. She aims to agree on what to try together and to adjust the approach as progress is made.
