How therapeutic approaches are used in online care

Claire-Louise draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and make practical changes. One approach focuses on identifying unhelpful patterns of thinking and behaviour and replacing them with more workable responses; this can help with anxiety, panic and low mood. Another approach emphasises building skills for managing stress and improving emotional regulation through simple exercises and coping strategies; this is useful for burnout, compassion fatigue and day-to-day overwhelm.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Claire-Louise works collaboratively to understand each person's needs and goals. Together they try different ways of working and adjust the plan as progress is made or priorities change.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break and make it simpler to meet from different locations when international appointments are needed.
