About Claire
Claire Kleiner offers person-centred care that places the client at the heart of each session. She uses a warm, respectful style to help people talk through problems and make the changes they want. Claire is introduced here by name to make the connection immediate and clear.
Her approach focuses on listening without judgement and following each person’s pace. Sessions aim to help people understand their feelings and decide what steps to take next.
How Claire works
Claire adapts sessions to each person’s needs so conversations stay relevant and practical. Claire has four years of clinical experience in the United Kingdom and holds BACP accreditation. She has worked with neurodivergent people and people from the LGBT community.
That background informs how she shapes conversations and plans therapy. Common concerns addressed include stress, anxiety, depression and trauma and abuse. She also supports people with relationship difficulties, addictions, ADHD, grief and issues with self-esteem.
Practical topics such as sleep problems, parenting strain and career worries are also part of her practice. Claire can explore complex life changes such as divorce, blended family issues, adoption and foster care concerns, and ageing or caregiver stress. She keeps the focus on small, manageable steps and clear next actions.
The goal is to help each person leave sessions feeling understood and better able to cope. Sessions are offered in English and are available to people located in the United Kingdom and internationally. The overall aim is steady, person-led progress rather than quick fixes.

Online support options
Person-centred care online and what it looks like
Claire uses client-centred therapy, which means sessions focus on the person rather than a fixed technique. The counsellor listens closely, reflects what is said, and helps people find their own answers. This approach can be helpful for feelings of depression, anxiety, relationship strain and processing past hurt.In practice sessions are shaped around the individual's needs and pace. The counsellor adapts tone, questions and tasks to suit each person's goals. Working together, they decide what approach best fits the problem and the person’s life - it is a collaborative process rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and maintain a closer conversational flow. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for those who prefer writing, want ongoing brief support, or need to fit sessions around a busy day.
Registered or accredited professionals can tailor session formats to match emotional needs, tech comfort and scheduling constraints. This makes it easier to keep therapy part of everyday life and to progress steadily over time.
