She writes plainly and listens closely, helping people name what feels hard and take small, manageable steps toward change.

How Claire works

Her work often looks at how past relationships shape present feelings and behaviour. In sessions she focuses on the immediate problems you bring and on building useful skills. She mixes gentle reflection with simple exercises that help with emotion regulation and sense-making.

The goal is to reduce overwhelm and restore a clearer sense of self. Claire also helps people work through issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, communication problems and feelings of isolation. She pays attention to how the body holds stress and uses that knowledge to guide practical steps in sessions.

People meet Claire by video call, phone, live chat or text messaging. Sessions are offered in English and follow a collaborative, respectful pace tailored to each person’s needs. To begin, complete a short matching questionnaire and arrange a time that suits you.

Online support options

How Claire's approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current feelings and reactions. In online sessions this approach helps people make sense of repeated relationship patterns and try different ways of relating in the moment. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on noticing and working with strong emotions to change unhelpful patterns. EFT online can help people understand core feelings such as shame or fear and practise new emotional responses. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the centre and emphasises listening, acceptance and pacing. This style supports people who need time to find their own solutions.

Choosing the best approach is part of the process. Claire will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit your goals, needs and preferences. Together you will try things and adjust as needed until the way of working fits you.

Online appointments are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes sessions easier to fit around work, childcare or travel. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be a simpler option with lower bandwidth, and messaging options suit quick check-ins or shorter reflections. These formats help make regular contact practical and flexible while continuing therapeutic progress.

A practical next step

Write down two things you would want to be different in six months. That is the most useful thing to bring to a first session, whoever it is with. If you would rather start now than keep reading, online sessions are the quickest route.
