How Clare works online
She also works in a trauma-informed way, which means recognising how past distress can shape current reactions and pacing the work to avoid overwhelming the person. This approach is useful for people dealing with trauma, abuse, dissociation or intense shame.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Clare will work collaboratively to identify which techniques fit best with a person's goals, needs and preferences, and she will adapt over time as things change.
Practical benefits of online therapy can include fitting sessions more easily into a busy week and reducing travel time. Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm the current options before booking. Registered or accredited professionals often use online appointments to make it simpler to attend while managing everyday commitments.
