About Claudelle
Claudelle Shaw is an AASW social worker with 15 years of clinical experience in Australia. She works with adults and couples on stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem and depression. She also offers focused help around abandonment, attachment issues, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness and forgiveness.
Claudelle uses a person-centred foundation in sessions. She works respectfully and collaboratively to increase self-awareness and to identify patterns that keep people feeling stuck. Conversations often look at unhelpful thinking, relationship patterns and how past experiences shape present reactions.
Her approach draws on cognitive behavioural techniques alongside attachment-based ideas and mindfulness. Practical tools and short exercises are used to test new ways of thinking or relating between sessions. She also brings elements of the Gottman Method when relationship skills are a focus.
Sessions generally aim to be straightforward and goal oriented. Claudelle checks in about what is useful and adjusts the way she works based on feedback. That means sessions may include reflective discussion, skill practice and occasional written tasks.
She has experience supporting people who have faced domestic violence, complicated grief, chronic pain or long-term illness. She also helps those coping with ageing and caregiver stress, and people repairing communication after separation or divorce.
Sessions are conducted in English in Australia. Before booking, clients are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session using the online options provided.
How Claudelle uses therapy approaches online
Attachment-based ideas focus on how early relationships shape current emotional responses and patterns. In sessions this looks like noticing how people relate under stress and trying safer ways of connecting or reacting. It can be useful for issues like relationship conflict, abandonment feelings and attachment worries.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, teaches concrete ways to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours. Online work with CBT often uses short between-session tasks and clear steps to test new thinking, which can help with anxiety, low mood and some trauma reactions.
Mindfulness practices are simple exercises for grounding attention in the present moment. These techniques are used to reduce overwhelm and to increase awareness of bodily and emotional states between sessions.
Finding the best mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that suit those aims. This is a collaborative process and she asks for feedback to adjust what is used as therapy progresses.
The biography does not specify which session formats are offered, so please confirm the current online options before booking. Many people find online work helps fit sessions into everyday life because it can reduce travel, make scheduling easier and allow shorter check-ins when needed. The focus is on making therapy manageable within a person's routine rather than promising a particular format.
