About Claire
Claire Jones offers practical support for people facing grief, low self-esteem, stress, anxiety, eating concerns and big life changes. She writes plainly and listens without judgement. Claire aims to help people feel more able to make choices that suit their lives.
Claire has three years of experience working in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which appears after her name as BACP. Her dissertation examined binge eating disorder, and she has researched eating and food-related issues in depth.
How Claire works
That background informs how she talks through eating, body image and related worries. In sessions she focuses on what the person wants to change. She encourages clients to name their own goals and notices the strengths they already have.
Claire uses a client-centred approach that keeps the person’s perspective at the heart of conversations. Her work also covers midlife transitions, ageing and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, relationship communication problems and feelings of emptiness or isolation. She supports people dealing with guilt, shame, jealousy, forgiveness and finding life purpose.
Claire offers a calm, straightforward style. She aims to make therapy a space where people can try things out, reflect on choices and build clearer ways to cope. Many find a short practical focus helpful alongside deeper discussion.
To begin, Claire asks people to reflect on what they want from therapy and to set simple, realistic steps. She believes small changes can lead to clearer direction and better everyday coping.

Client-centred care online and how it helps
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s lead. The therapist offers empathy and reflection so the client can explore feelings and decide what matters most. This approach is helpful for concerns like anxiety, low self-esteem, grief and life transitions because it centres the client’s own experience.Claire’s background in researching eating issues also shapes how she talks about body image and eating-related concerns. Conversations can include looking at thoughts around food and body, identifying practical steps, and building coping strategies that fit everyday life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will collaborate with each person to decide which methods suit their needs and goals. Together they check in and adjust the plan as understanding grows and circumstances change.
Online sessions offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging suit people who prefer shorter, written exchanges or need to fit therapy into busy days. Registered or accredited professionals can use these formats to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into daily life.
