Therapeutic approaches and online support with Louise Claydon

Client-Centred Therapy places the client’s experience at the heart of the work, offering a non-directive and empathetic environment where people can explore their feelings and priorities. This approach supports self-understanding, confidence building, and managing life changes by following the client’s lead.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the relationship between thoughts, emotions, and behaviours. It uses practical strategies to address patterns that maintain anxiety, stress, or low mood, helping clients develop new coping skills and measurable steps toward their goals.

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationship patterns influence current connections and interpersonal responses. It can be helpful for addressing abandonment, attachment issues, and recurring relationship dynamics that affect emotional wellbeing.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Louise works collaboratively with clients to identify methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they tailor the pace and techniques used to ensure the approach feels right for each person.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit therapy into busy lives or to work across time zones. These options help maintain continuity of care and make it simpler for people to access licensed professionals and therapists from wherever they are.
