About Claire
Claire Roberts is a psychotherapeutic counsellor with NCPS credentials and five years of professional experience. She offers a warm, interactive style and aims to help people build practical coping tools. Claire focuses on supporting emotional wellbeing and encourages clients to find their voice and move forward with confidence.
Her approach combines Client-Centred Therapy, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) and Psychodynamic ideas. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs, with clear goals and simple strategies to use between meetings.
How Claire works
Claire uses reflective conversation to help people make sense of painful experiences and to spot patterns that get in the way. She also draws on Mindfulness Therapy and Motivational Interviewing when these fit the situation. Mindfulness practices can help with sleep, stress and anxiety by training attention.
Motivational interviewing supports people to find their own reasons for change, for example with addictions or career shifts. Her focus areas include stress, anxiety, grief, self-esteem, career concerns, coping with life changes, addictions and relationship issues. Claire also works with concerns such as parenting strain, compassion fatigue, anger and depression.
Additional areas listed include attachment struggles, body image, codependency and family problems. Sessions aim to be collaborative and practical. Claire will listen carefully, reflect what she hears and offer tools you can try between sessions.
The goal is steady, achievable change rather than quick fixes.

Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-Centred Therapy focuses on listening, empathy and helping a person feel understood. In an online session this means the counsellor reflects what a person says and guides the conversation so they can clarify their own goals and values.Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and behaviours and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It suits issues like anxiety, low mood, sleep problems and some relationship or career worries because it gives concrete exercises to try between sessions.
Mindfulness Therapy helps people develop attention practices and simple habits to reduce stress and improve sleep. Short guided exercises and breathing practices can be shared during video or audio sessions and practised between meetings.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The counsellor will discuss goals, preferences and what has or has not helped before, then agree a plan together. That collaboration can include trying different techniques and adjusting the balance of approaches over time.
Online therapy offers practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when that matters. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera feels uncomfortable. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, written reflection and flexible scheduling. Together these formats give clearer access and make it simpler to fit therapy around work and family commitments.
