Clair Conway, BACP

Clair Conway is a registered counsellor and therapist in the United Kingdom with 12 years of professional practice. She combines person-centred training with accredited CBT coach practitioner training and additional training in acceptance and commitment therapy. Clair also holds the BACP credential (British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy), reflecting her professional affiliation and commitment to ongoing standards of practice.

Her work focuses on supporting people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief and loss, depression, and major life changes. She also offers help with issues such as attachment and abandonment, family and relationship difficulties, caregiving stress, fertility and end-of-life concerns, and the emotional impact of illness or disaster. Clair draws on evidence-based techniques while centering each person as the expert of their own story.

Clair emphasises reflection on personal perceptions, values, and beliefs to increase understanding of thoughts and behaviours. She approaches therapy with a belief in clients' existing strengths and capacities, and she aims to listen, support, and empower people as they take courageous steps toward greater wellbeing and more fulfilling lives.

Approaches that guide online care and support

Clair uses a person-centred approach that prioritises the client’s own experience, creating space for people to explore their values and build on their strengths. This approach is particularly helpful for those navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, or feelings of emptiness.

She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques from accredited CBT coach practitioner training to help clients notice and gently reframe unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical coping strategies for anxiety, low mood, and stress. Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) is used to support acceptance of difficult feelings while identifying meaningful values and committed action in everyday life.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself, and Clair collaborates with each person to identify what fits best with their needs, goals, and preferences. She works alongside clients to adjust methods as therapy progresses, making decisions together about priorities and techniques.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier for people to access a licensed professional from home or while managing caregiving, work, or health demands, helping therapy to fit more naturally into everyday life.
