About Claudelle
Claudelle Shaw is an AASW social worker with 15 years of clinical experience working in Australia. She sees adults and focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, self-esteem and depression. Her practice also addresses abandonment, attachment issues and family of origin concerns.
Claudelle works in a straightforward, person-centred way. She prefers clear conversation about what is worrying a person and practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. Sessions often include mindful exercises and skills drawn from cognitive behavioural approaches.
She also integrates attachment-based ideas to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. For people in struggling relationships she uses elements of the Gottman Method to improve communication and reduce conflict. Claudelle will discuss what feels most useful and adapt the approach as work progresses.
Her background includes fifteen years delivering evidence-informed interventions in clinical settings. That experience covers trauma, grief and loss, family violence matters, adjustment to illness, chronic pain and caregiver stress. She works with both complex and everyday problems and aims to make clinical concepts practical and relevant.
Claudelle places value on collaborative work and client feedback. She talks through goals, checks progress, and introduces tools people can use between sessions. People who prefer clear, direct guidance and skills-focused therapy tend to find this approach helpful.
Therapeutic approaches for online work and practical tools
Claudelle draws on cognitive behavioural therapy to help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behaviour. CBT often involves setting small goals, testing beliefs in day-to-day life, and practising new coping strategies that reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at patterns that come from early relationships. This approach helps people understand why they respond to closeness or conflict in certain ways and supports the development of more secure ways of relating.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Claudelle works with clients to pick methods that match their goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques as progress is made. This collaborative approach helps keep sessions relevant and goal-focused.
The biography did not specify which session formats are offered online, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around study, shifts and commuting, and it can allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. It can also reduce the need to travel, which helps people manage ongoing health or caregiving responsibilities while attending sessions.
