Claire uses a person‑centred way of working that puts the client’s experience at the heart of the session.

Background and approach

She listens without giving direct advice and helps people find their own answers. Sessions are conversational and paced to suit each person’s comfort and needs. Her approach draws on attachment‑based ideas and emotionally‑focused work to help people understand patterns in relationships and strong emotions.

She aims to help people notice feelings, make different decisions, and cope better with difficult memories. Claire has four years' experience in counselling and is a member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP.

She follows the BACP ethical guidelines and carries professional insurance. She offers sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging to suit different preferences. People who speak English can work with Claire from within the UK; international clients are not accepted.

To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability. Claire focuses on creating a steady, respectful space where practical steps and personal reflection can sit side by side. She aims to support people as they process painful events, rebuild day‑to‑day routines, and find clearer ways to move forward.

How Claire’s approaches translate to online therapy

Claire works from person‑centred and attachment‑based perspectives that are easy to use online. Person‑centred work means the session follows what the client brings, with the counsellor offering empathic listening and reflection to help people make sense of their feelings. Attachment‑based work looks at how early relationships shape current patterns, and helps people notice recurring habits in relationships and emotional reactions.

Emotionally‑Focused Therapy ideas also inform her practice by helping people name and sit with strong emotions and then find different ways to respond. These approaches suit concerns such as trauma, anxiety, grief and relationship patterns because they focus on feelings, connection and practical changes rather than labels or advice. Claire will work collaboratively to find which approach or mix of approaches fits a person’s needs and goals, and she adjusts pace and style as the work progresses.

Online sessions take place by video call, phone, live chat or text‑based messaging. Video is useful when non‑verbal cues help the work. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check‑ins or when writing things down helps. These options aim to make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into everyday life.
