She can also help with pregnancy and childbirth related worries and challenges some men face around emotional wellbeing. Sessions are offered in English and Claire-Louise accepts clients from the United Kingdom and internationally.

Online support
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claire-Louise will work with each person to decide which techniques match their goals, preferences and the problems they want to address. She adapts methods over time so sessions stay relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls let you have a face-to-face conversation without travelling. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections between sessions or people who prefer writing. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family and travel while still focusing on progress.
