About Claire
Her primary orientation is person-centred therapy, which shapes how she creates an accepting environment and encourages clients to find their own insights. Alongside this framework, Claire draws on a range of approaches and holds a diploma in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - a qualification that enables her to offer practical strategies and exercises clients can use between sessions. She also holds NCPS, a professional counselling credential.
Claire aims to make the first steps into therapy approachable and supportive. She recognises that starting therapy can feel daunting and strives to provide a calm setting in which all emotions can be explored as part of personal growth and healing.
Person-Centred and CBT Support Delivered Online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting and empathic environment where the client is treated as the expert in their own life - a space that helps people explore identity, relationships and emotional blocks without judgement. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured, practical techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to build coping skills for issues like anxiety, low mood and stress. Claire combines the compassionate stance of a person-centred approach with CBT tools to give both emotional understanding and actionable strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Claire works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best given their needs, goals and preferences. She will discuss different methods and adapt sessions so the work feels relevant and manageable.
Online therapy with Claire is available by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging, which makes it easier to access support from different locations and at varied times. These options provide flexibility for people balancing work, family or other commitments and make it possible to continue consistent therapeutic work even when schedules or circumstances change.
