Claudelle Shaw , AASW

Claudelle Shaw offers evidence-based therapeutic support to individuals aged 13 years and older, as well as to couples, addressing a wide range of emotional and relational challenges. She works with anxiety, depression, trauma, grief and loss, and issues stemming from family violence - supporting both victims and perpetrators. Her practice also includes help for people coping with life transitions, low self-esteem, complex trauma, self-harm and suicide risk, relationship difficulties, parenting concerns and couples counselling.

Taking a person-centred stance, Claudelle collaborates respectfully with each individual or couple to build self-awareness and encourage practical change. Her work focuses on helping clients shift entrenched thinking patterns, alter unhelpful behaviours and process deeper emotional difficulties in ways that feel manageable and meaningful.

She draws on a variety of evidence-based modalities to suit each person’s needs, including Psychodynamic Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Informed Theory, Narrative Therapy, mindfulness-based techniques and Motivational Interviewing. Interventions are tailored to the client’s circumstances and goals, with an emphasis on real-world tools and skills.

Claudelle is committed to creating a welcoming and accepting space where people can explore their thoughts and feelings without judgment. She aims to support clients through healing and practical problem solving, and she values ongoing client feedback to ensure sessions remain purposeful and relevant.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Claudelle commonly integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy and Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) within her online work. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current emotional patterns and can be useful for relationship difficulties, abandonment concerns and attachment issues. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and collaboration, helping people feel heard while they discover their own paths to change and improved self-esteem. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviours, and it is often used for anxiety, depression, stress and coping with difficult life circumstances.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Claudelle works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences, and she tailors interventions as those needs evolve. This collaborative process helps ensure treatment feels relevant and effective for the individual.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can be arranged as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or ongoing text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives, access support from home, and maintain continuity of care with licensed professionals and therapists regardless of geographic constraints.
