Background and approach

Claire pays attention to how early relationships and life events shape current patterns and feelings. Her approach mixes talking therapy with structured techniques. Sessions can include exploring emotions, noticing unhelpful thoughts, practising mindful awareness and focusing on how interactions affect feelings.

The goal is to build clearer understanding and small, workable steps forward. Claire is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She draws on attachment-based ideas as well as client-centred listening, cognitive behaviour strategies and emotionally focused work to support change.

Mindfulness practices are used where helpful to manage stress and anxiety. People connect with Claire by completing a short matching questionnaire and arranging sessions that suit them. She accepts English-speaking clients across borders and frames agreements under Northern Ireland law as part of her practice arrangements.

How Claire's approaches fit with online therapy

Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape current emotions and patterns. Online sessions can help people notice those patterns and practice different ways of relating in real time. Client-centred therapy focuses on careful listening and the client's own pace, giving space to be heard and to find personal solutions during video or phone meetings. Cognitive behavioural therapy (CBT) aims to identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavioural changes; it often uses short exercises and practical homework that transfer well to remote formats.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Claire will discuss your needs, goals and preferences and together you will decide which methods to try. That collaborative process can be adjusted as progress is noticed or new priorities emerge.

Online formats offer practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit around work breaks, and live chat or text messaging suit brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These options help make regular sessions easier to arrange and keep therapy consistent over time.
