Claire Jones, BACP

Claire Jones is a United Kingdom based counsellor with three years of professional practice and a BACP credential. She focuses on supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief and loss, and the many challenges that come with life changes such as midlife transitions. Her work also addresses motivation, self esteem and confidence, and she has explored eating-related difficulties in depth through her dissertation on binge eating disorder, which informed her clinical interest in eating and food-related issues.

Claire brings experience working with a wide range of concerns including caregiver stress, body image and social anxiety, and she often supports clients grappling with isolation, guilt and questions about life purpose. She believes clients are the experts of their own stories and aims to help each person rediscover their strengths so they can steer their life forward. Taking the first step toward therapy can be daunting - Claire is familiar with that experience personally, and the benefits she found in therapy helped inspire her to train as a counsellor.

As a practitioner who values collaborative, client-centered work, Claire offers a supportive space for people seeking practical coping strategies and personal insight. Her practice is informed by focused research and a commitment to helping clients become active drivers of change in their own lives.

Client-Centered Care and Flexible Online Sessions

Claire primarily works using client-centered therapy, an approach that places the person at the heart of the process. It emphasizes listening, empathy and supporting clients to explore their feelings and values so they can identify their own solutions - a helpful way to address issues like grief, self esteem and navigating life transitions.

Because Claire values collaboration, finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work together. She will help clients clarify their goals, preferences and needs, and will tailor the way she works so clients feel understood and can take an active role in shaping their progress.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call or phone, and Claire also offers live chat and text-based messaging for those who prefer messaging formats. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to access licensed professionals from different locations, while still receiving consistent support and a structured therapeutic process.
