About Claire
Claire Scarlett is a BACP counsellor based in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She focuses on practical, everyday steps that help people manage stress, anxiety and the effects of trauma. Claire aims to make starting therapy feel straightforward and supportive for someone taking that first brave step.
Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. She treats each person as the expert on their own life and helps them use their existing strengths to change what isn’t working.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and paced to each person’s comfort level so difficult topics can be addressed gradually. Claire draws on a mix of approaches to suit different concerns. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioural therapy to tackle unhelpful thinking and from attachment work to help with relationship patterns.
Trauma-focused ideas are used when past hurt affects day-to-day life. People bring a wide range of issues to her work, from family and parenting strain to grief, low self-esteem, and difficulties with sleep or eating. She also supports those navigating identity and LGBT concerns, neurodiversity-related challenges, and career stress.
Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging to fit different needs. Claire accepts clients from the UK and international clients in English. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and sessions are scheduled according to the therapist’s availability.

Approaches that guide online work
Claire uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current patterns and emotions; this can help when people notice repeating hurts in friendships or close relationships. Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, is also part of her work and focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing practical changes to improve mood and day-to-day functioning.Finding the right approach is considered a collaborative process. Claire will talk with each person about their goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to try and how to adapt them over time. The plan can change as progress is made or priorities shift.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for people with busy or complex lives. Video calls allow visual cues and fuller conversation, while phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quicker check-ins, shorter reflections or times when writing feels easier than speaking. These formats make it straightforward to fit therapy around work, parenting and other commitments, and to continue sessions when travel or relocation happens.
