About Claire

Claire Burton is a counsellor based in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety and depression. Claire also supports those affected by trauma and abuse and people facing relationship or intimacy concerns.

She aims to build an open, non-judgemental space where clients can speak freely. Sessions focus on what matters to the person in the room. Claire works alongside clients to set realistic steps and to strengthen coping skills for day-to-day challenges.

Background and approach

Her practice addresses a wide range of issues, including ADHD, self-harm, anger, and self-esteem. She also offers support around sexual assault, dissociation, and panic attacks. Additional areas include seasonal affective disorder, personality difficulties, and topics related to autism and alternative sexual cultures.

Claire uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and adapts them to each person’s needs. She takes a collaborative approach, checking in about progress and adjusting the work if needed. The emphasis is on practical tools and clearer thinking rather than jargon.

People can expect straightforward conversations and goal-focused sessions. The process begins with a short matching form and moves on to scheduling sessions that suit the client. Claire describes therapy as a partnership aimed at helping people make changes they find meaningful.

Focus areas and approaches

Everything Claire lists on their public professional profile, in their own terms.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Claire uses practical, evidence-based techniques adapted for online work. One common approach focuses on learning calmer responses to anxiety through step-by-step exercises and breathing or grounding practices; this helps with panic attacks, stress and everyday worry. Another approach emphasises understanding patterns of thought and behaviour and testing new ways of coping; this can help with depression, low self-esteem and relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Claire will discuss options with each person and choose methods that match their needs, goals and preferences. The work is collaborative - she checks progress and adjusts the plan as required so clients feel the sessions are useful and relevant.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a break at work. Live chat and messaging suit shorter check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options help people fit therapy around life commitments and access support from different locations.
