Claudelle Shaw, AASW

Claudelle Shaw helps people facing stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and low self-esteem. She works with depression, grief and a wide mix of life challenges. Claudelle is an AASW social worker with 15 years' experience in Australia. She writes in a warm, straightforward way and focuses on practical change.

Claudelle takes a person-centred approach and stays respectful and collaborative. She listens first and helps people notice patterns that keep them stuck. Sessions often look at thoughts, feelings and behaviours and how these affect day-to-day living. Practical tools and small behaviour changes are used alongside deeper exploration.

Her work includes relationship concerns and methods drawn from the Gottman Method to address communication and connection. Attachment-based ideas guide exploration of how early relationships shape current reactions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy helps when people want to challenge unhelpful thinking and build coping skills.

Claudelle also supports people dealing with ageing and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, cancer and body image concerns. She can help people talk through family of origin problems, abandonment or forgiveness issues as they relate to wellbeing.

In sessions she aims to strike a balance between understanding the past and building practical strategies for today. Feedback from the person is invited so work stays focused and useful. To begin, people use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not currently accepted. Costs vary with location and the subscription can be cancelled at any time.

How key approaches translate to online therapy

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationships and reactions. It helps people understand connection patterns and respond to closeness and distance in healthier ways. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) focuses on how thoughts affect feelings and actions; it teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful thinking and improve day-to-day coping. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention and breathing practices to reduce rumination and increase calm in stressful moments.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claudelle will talk with each person about their needs, goals and preferences and then suggest methods that suit them. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as therapy progresses.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time and let people join from quieter surroundings. Shorter check-ins or longer sessions can be arranged to match practical needs, and methods like CBT or mindfulness translate well to a digital setting when agreed with the therapist.
