How Claire works
Her work combines client-centred ways of relating with techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy. That means Claire offers a calm, accepting space while also trying specific ideas to shift thoughts and behaviours. She adapts sessions to what a person needs in the moment rather than following a fixed script.
Claire has four years of clinical experience and holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy registration listed in her credentials. She practises in the United Kingdom and conducts sessions in English.
People come to Claire for many reasons including stress, anxiety, relationship and parenting concerns, low self-esteem, depression, addictions, grief, trauma and abuse, eating or sleeping issues, anger, career pressures, ADHD and coping with life changes. She also works with matters such as caregiving strain, blended family issues, body image, and end-of-life concerns.
Sessions are tailored to each person’s values and goals, with an emphasis on small, practical steps. Claire supports people to build resilience, improve communication and make changes at a pace that suits them.

How Claire blends person-centred and CBT online
Claire uses client-centred approaches to create a listening, non-judgemental space where people can talk through what matters most to them. This way of working focuses on understanding a person's experience and responding with empathy, which can help people feel heard and more able to consider change.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings and actions connect. CBT offers clear, practical techniques to try in everyday life, useful for anxiety, low mood, stress and unhelpful habits. Together, these approaches offer both support and tools for change.
Finding the right approach is a joint process. Claire discusses goals and preferences with each person and adapts methods over time. She works collaboratively to decide which techniques to try and adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online therapy here is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for a conversational, face-to-face feel, phone sessions suit shorter check-ins or when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be flexible for quick conversations, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and day-to-day life while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
