Claire Lewis, BACP

Claire Lewis is an accredited member of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy (BACP), a professional body for counsellors in the United Kingdom that sets standards for practice and ethical care. She works as an integrative counsellor, drawing on a person-centred base combined with psychodynamic ideas, Gestalt, cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT), and solution-focused techniques to tailor support to each person’s needs.

With four years of post-qualification experience, Claire has spent the last four years working within an Employee Assistance Programme (EAP) where she offered short-term support to a wide range of clients facing different challenges. For the past three years she has also focused on providing emotional support to neurodiverse university students, often working with them in medium to long-term therapy. Alongside this, she has experience delivering longer-term therapeutic work when it is helpful.

Claire supports people coping with stress, anxiety, relationship difficulties, family conflict, grief including pet bereavement, loss, motivation challenges, and issues with self-esteem and confidence. Her practice emphasises empathy and unconditional positive regard, offering a consistent, accepting space where clients can explore their feelings. Beginning therapy is a brave step and Claire aims to collaborate with each person to support them through their journey and identify practical ways forward.
