About Chloe

Chloe Cuskelly is an ACA counsellor in Australia with seven years of professional experience. She has worked in educational settings with children and adolescents aged five to 18. Chloe lists stress, anxiety, family conflict, parenting concerns, coping with life changes, concentration and memory as areas she helps people with. She also focuses on forgiveness, guilt and shame, and self-love.

Chloe works in a conversational, respectful way that treats the client as the expert on their own life. Sessions are a place to talk through what has become heavy or confusing and to identify small steps forward. She emphasises strengths people already have and practical strategies to manage day-to-day challenges.

Her background in schools gives her experience with family dynamics and parenting questions seen in everyday life. That work also involved supporting attention and memory concerns for young people, which informs how she discusses concentration and organisation with adults. Chloe draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape sessions and responses to each situation.

People who bring feelings of guilt or shame are invited to name those feelings and consider their origin and impact. Chloe offers straightforward conversation and practical ways to practice self-compassion and repair where possible. She avoids jargon and keeps interventions clear and focused on what can change now.

To begin, a reader would follow the site process to match and book a first session. Chloe expects the first meetings to centre on what matters most to the person and practical next steps they can try between sessions.

How Chloe uses evidence-based techniques in online sessions

Chloe draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide practical work in sessions. One common strand is skills-based work that teaches practical ways to manage anxiety and stress, such as breathing, short behavioural changes and simple routines to improve focus. These approaches are useful when symptoms affect daily functioning or concentration.

Another approach is reflective work that looks at beliefs and feelings behind guilt and shame. This involves noticing unhelpful self-statements, testing them against experience, and practising kinder self-talk. That kind of work often helps people change how they relate to past actions or persistent self-blame.

Choosing which method to use is a shared process. Chloe will discuss options early on and adjust techniques to suit a client's needs, goals and preferences. The aim is to find approaches that fit the person’s life and feel manageable between sessions.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats available before booking. The site booking process explains how to match and schedule a first meeting. Online work can make sessions easier to fit into a weekday, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time so therapeutic work fits into a normal routine.
