Claire Meyrick, NCPS

Claire Meyrick is an integrative counsellor and psychotherapist who combines person-centred counselling, Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, and psychodynamic approaches to offer a tailored path through life’s challenges. She adapts methods to fit each individual, drawing on techniques from different models to suit what feels most appropriate and comfortable for the client. Claire works collaboratively to help clients make sense of difficulties and identify practical ways to manage and overcome them.

In sessions she provides a non-judgmental listening space, paying close attention to feelings and behavioural patterns to support greater self-understanding. Claire believes clients are the experts in their own stories and helps them recognise strengths they can use when facing relationship problems, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, or stress. Her practice also addresses issues such as family matters, grief, parenting, anger, career concerns, and compassion fatigue.

Claire holds the NCPS credential, which indicates professional training and adherence to recognised practice standards. She encourages prospective clients to acknowledge the courage it takes to begin therapy and offers gentle, practical support for those first steps.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Claire uses client-centred therapy to create a respectful, empathetic space where the client’s perspective and choices guide the process. This approach helps people who want to explore self-esteem, relationship dynamics, and personal growth by focusing on the individual’s own goals and strengths.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviours and to develop practical strategies for change. CBT can be especially helpful for anxiety, stress, and low mood because it offers clear tools for managing symptoms and building coping skills.

Psychodynamic work explores how early experiences and unconscious patterns influence current feelings and relationships, offering insight that can be useful for long-standing or recurring issues. Claire combines these approaches to match the work to each person’s needs.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and Claire collaborates with clients to determine what fits best based on their goals, preferences, and situation. She adapts methods over time so therapy stays relevant and effective.

Online therapy with Claire is available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from home or elsewhere, while allowing clients to choose the format that works best for them.
