About Claudelle
Claudelle Shaw is an AASW counsellor with 15 years' experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem and relationship concerns. She also supports people who have experienced trauma and abuse and those coping with grief and major life changes. Her work is grounded in a respectful, person-centred way of working that values the client's voice.
Claudelle takes a practical approach. Sessions focus on understanding what is happening now and on learning small, doable skills to make everyday life easier. She pays attention to patterns in relationships and attachment, and helps people notice how thinking and behaviour keep problems going.
Her practice draws on methods such as attachment-based work, cognitive behavioural techniques, mindfulness and the Gottman Method for relationship conversations. Claudelle adapts these tools to suit each person's situation and preferences, and she encourages feedback so sessions stay useful.
People come for help with a wide range of concerns beyond mood and anxiety. Claudelle lists additional focuses including abandonment, body image, caregiving stress, chronic illness and pain, communication problems, divorce and separation, family of origin issues and forgiveness. She aims to make therapy straightforward and relevant to day-to-day life.
Claudelle works in Australia and conducts therapy in English. She asks new clients to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. The subscription for sessions can be cancelled at any time.
How Claudelle uses different approaches in online therapy
Claudelle often draws on attachment-based work to look at how early relationship patterns affect current feelings and behaviour, which can help with relationship concerns and attachment issues. She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, a hands-on method that looks at the link between thoughts, feelings and actions and teaches practical techniques for anxiety and mood problems. Mindfulness approaches are also used to help people notice their inner experience and reduce reactivity.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Claudelle will talk through goals and preferences and adapt methods over time. She encourages client feedback so the plan fits what the person actually needs and wants to achieve.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time and allow more flexible scheduling around work or caregiving. They also make shorter check-ins or regular weekly sessions simpler to maintain, depending on what the client and therapist agree will work best together.
