About Claire
Claire Thomas-Davis is a counsellor who aims to help people feeling stuck or overwhelmed. She uses a warm, accepting style to listen to worries about trauma, grief, relationships and self-esteem. Claire works to help clients find practical ways to cope and to reconnect with what matters to them.
Claire draws on several therapeutic approaches to suit each person. She uses Trauma-Focused Therapy to gently address distressing past events and reduce their hold on daily life.
Background and approach
Attachment-Based and Emotionally-Focused methods help uncover patterns in relationships and why they feel difficult. Client-Centred and Mindfulness approaches encourage self-compassion and present-moment awareness. Sessions are conversational and paced to the individual.
Claire helps people name what they are feeling, notice how their body responds, and find small changes that make life more manageable. Work might include grounding strategies, emotion-focused exercises, or exploring how early attachments affect current reactions. She has five years' experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, often shortened to BACP.
Claire practices from the United Kingdom and offers work for concerns such as abandonment, attachment issues, body image, communication problems, control issues, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, isolation, life purpose and midlife change. People often come when past events feel overwhelming or when major life changes leave them unsure what to do next.
Claire supports the process of understanding those experiences and finding clearer ways forward.

How therapeutic approaches work online
Claire commonly draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy to help process distressing past events and reduce their ongoing impact. This approach looks at how memories and reactions maintain current difficulties and uses gradual, paced work to lessen their intensity.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore patterns in relationships and where emotional responses come from, and Client-Centred Therapy to ensure sessions follow each person's priorities and pace. Attachment work can help with communication and trust, while client-centred methods focus on listening and building self-understanding.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Claire will work collaboratively to identify which methods suit your needs, goals and preferences. Together you can try different techniques and adjust the focus as understanding grows.
Online sessions are offered by video, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can fit quick check-ins or work around a busy day. These options make it easier to attend from different locations and to choose a format that helps you engage with the work.
