About Claire
Claire Burton is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She supports people facing stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps those dealing with trauma, sexual assault and self-harm.
Claire strives to make starting therapy feel manageable and straightforward. Claire creates a calm, non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly about difficult thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical ways to cope with panic, low mood and anger.
How Claire works
She also works with issues around relationships, intimacy and LGBT concerns in individual sessions. People who find routine changes hard or who are navigating young adult challenges may find her approach helpful. Additional focus areas include ADHD, autism and Asperger syndrome, dissociation and personality difficulties.
Claire is experienced supporting people exploring kink and alternative sexual cultures. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She listens first, then helps people set small, realistic goals.
Work might include talking through past events, building coping strategies, or practising new ways to manage distress. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Therapy uses a subscription model that can be cancelled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Claire works with evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and emotional safety. One common approach involves teaching coping strategies for anxiety and panic - these are short exercises and breathing or grounding techniques to use when stress spikes. Another approach targets mood and low self-esteem by helping people identify unhelpful thought patterns and try small, manageable experiments to test different behaviours and beliefs.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Claire will discuss your goals and preferences in early sessions and recommend techniques that match your needs. Together you can adjust the plan as progress is made and new issues arise.
Online therapy offers a flexible way to work with a therapist from the United Kingdom. Video calls let you see facial expressions and body language, phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day, and live chat or text messaging allow shorter check-ins or written reflections between sessions. These options make it easier to keep continuity of care while fitting therapy into everyday life.
