About Claire

Claire Howdle is an individual and family therapist based in the United Kingdom with over 5 years of clinical experience. She supports people facing a wide range of difficulties, including addiction, phobias, depression, anxiety, identity concerns, relationship challenges, recovery from childhood abuse, domestic and emotional abuse recovery, religious crisis, PTSD and other trauma.

Her work is integrative in nature, blending psychodynamic perspectives, humanistic principles, cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices to suit each person she sees. This tailored approach means sessions are shaped around individual needs rather than a one-size-fits-all model. Claire brings a warm, non-judgemental and inclusive stance to therapy, aiming to create an environment where clients can explore their experiences and build practical ways to improve daily life.

Claire holds BACP, the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy. She welcomes people from diverse backgrounds and offers both individual and family therapy. When clients are ready to take steps toward improved wellbeing, Claire aims to provide support and practical guidance to help them work toward their goals.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and learn practical skills to live in line with those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings arise. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships shape patterns of connection and can help people improve trust, intimacy and emotional regulation. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening and a non-directive stance so clients can explore their experiences and find their own solutions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process - Claire works collaboratively with each person to identify which methods fit their needs, goals and preferences. That partnership helps shape the pace and focus of sessions and can involve adapting techniques over time.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility: sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone conversations, live chat or through text-based messaging, allowing people to access licensed professionals and therapists from home or other locations. This range of options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and to continue work between sessions as needed.
