About Claire
Claire Beaulieu is a counsellor registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP). She draws on her own experience of therapy to offer a calm, attentive space where people can feel seen and heard. Claire aims to help clients who are facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression or big life changes.
She knows talking about painful or embarrassing things can feel hard. Claire focuses on building a trusting relationship so people can speak openly without judgement.
How Claire works
The work is collaborative and paced to suit each person’s needs. Claire uses an integrative approach that blends person-centred ideas with psychodynamic thinking, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused work. She looks for patterns and links in a person’s story while also supporting practical steps that bring relief.
Sessions aim to increase understanding and create choices for the future. Her practice also addresses a wide range of related concerns such as body image, caregiver stress, communication problems, divorce and separation, fertility and fatherhood issues, ageing and geriatric matters, and feelings of isolation. Claire is comfortable talking about complex topics like guilt, shame, eating and food-related issues, and HIV / AIDS.
Claire has three years of experience and works with people in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and are available through a variety of online formats to suit different needs.

How evidence-based techniques work online
Claire offers a mix of well-established approaches that are practical to use in online therapy. Person-centred work focuses on attentive listening and helping people feel understood, which helps when dealing with grief, low self-esteem or isolation. Psychodynamic ideas look for recurring patterns in relationships and feelings to increase self-awareness and make sense of long-standing difficulties. Cognitive behavioural techniques involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioural changes to reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Claire will collaborate with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That might mean combining reflective conversation with practical exercises, and adjusting the pace as things change.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility to suit daily life. Video sessions allow face-to-face discussion and visual cues, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat suits shorter check-ins and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, family commitments and travel while keeping continuity of care.
