How Claudia’s approaches work online
Client-centred therapy focuses on the person’s perspective and helps build understanding through open listening and reflection. It is useful for people who want a supportive space to talk through feelings and everyday pressures.Cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and habits affect mood and behaviour. It involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small, practical changes to routines or reactions to see if they help.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people notice and express core emotions that shape how they relate to others. This can be helpful for addressing relationship patterns and improving emotional connection.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudia will discuss different ways of working and decide together what fits the person’s needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process often shapes whether sessions are more reflective, skills-based or relational.
If you are considering online work, confirm the available session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel, and allow a shorter check-in if time is limited. They also let people choose a setup that suits their day-to-day routine rather than a fixed commute.
