About Claire
Claire Coker-Beyer is a counsellor who focuses on anxiety, low self-confidence and self-criticism. She aims to help people who feel stuck at work or in relationships because of worry or a poor body image. Her approach is conversational and practical, with attention to what gets in the way of taking next steps.
She describes herself as an integrative counsellor and combines ideas from several therapies to suit each person. Sessions look at current struggles and past experiences to find repeating patterns.
Background and approach
The goal is to build small, manageable changes that increase confidence and reduce unhelpful self-talk. Claire emphasises self-acceptance, self-care and compassion during sessions. She supports people to notice and make space for parts of themselves that carry shame or guilt.
This is done at a steady pace so people can try out new ways of relating to themselves without pressure. Her work also covers concerns such as relationship stress, career worries, addictions, trauma, grief and mood difficulties. She uses mindful practices and narrative techniques alongside psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to help people make sense of their experiences and find ways forward.
Claire holds BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. She has three years of clinical experience and works with adults in the United Kingdom. Sessions are offered in English and take place during daytime hours only.
How Claire's approaches translate to online therapy
Claire draws on mindfulness and narrative approaches to help people feel less overwhelmed by anxious thoughts. Mindfulness practices teach simple ways to notice thoughts and bodily reactions, which can help with stress and anxiety. Narrative work looks at the stories people tell about themselves and helps rewrite those stories in more helpful ways.She also uses psychodynamic and Jungian ideas to explore recurring patterns that may come from past experiences. These approaches can help people understand why they react in certain ways and open up new choices. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process; Claire works with each person to find what fits their goals and preferences rather than insisting on a single method.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different situations. Video calls let people work face to face when they prefer that connection. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for ongoing processing between sessions or when written reflection feels most helpful. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists can adapt these formats to suit practical needs and daily routines.
