About Claire
Claire Beaulieu is a counsellor practising in the United Kingdom with three years of professional experience and a BACP registration. She draws on her own experience of therapy to offer a space where people feel seen and heard. Claire aims to make therapy approachable and practical for those struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression and life transitions.
Sessions are straightforward and guided by what the client brings. Claire emphasises a non-judgemental listening style that helps people name painful experiences and begin to understand them.
Background and approach
She keeps the pace appropriate to each person so conversations do not feel rushed. Her background includes working with a wide range of concerns beyond the core areas above, such as carer stress, family dynamics, body image, eating and fertility issues. Claire uses flexible, evidence-based tools rather than a single fixed method, matching techniques to what the client needs at the time.
In practice she combines person-centred listening with psychodynamic thinking, cognitive behavioural ideas and solution-focused brief methods. That blend is used to identify patterns, cope with difficult feelings and build clearer choices for the future. Therapy with Claire is collaborative.
She helps people spot links between feelings and behaviour, set small goals, and practise new ways of coping. The overall aim is more resilience, clearer understanding, and gradual, sustainable change.
How Claire adapts therapeutic approaches for online care
Claire uses a mix of person-centred listening and cognitive behavioural ideas to help people manage anxiety and stress. Person-centred work means the focus is on what the client wants to talk about while the counsellor offers empathic listening and reflection to help them feel understood. Cognitive behavioural techniques involve spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small practical experiments to reduce anxiety or low mood.She also draws on solution-focused brief methods to set clear, achievable goals and build practical steps forward. These approaches are brief and goal-oriented, which can be useful when someone wants focused change or coping tools to use between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will talk with each person about their needs and goals and choose techniques together. This collaborative process aims to match the method to the person rather than using the same plan for everyone.
Online therapy offers flexibility for different life demands. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a visual connection helps. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text-based messaging make it possible to reflect in writing, send quick updates, and keep in touch between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and stick with the work over time.
