About Claire
Claire Jean Seymour is a counsellor who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She also supports people dealing with addiction, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, and depression. Claire works from a straightforward and respectful style.
She aims to build a calm, compassionate space for honest conversation. Claire holds NCPS, which is listed as her professional credential. She has seven years of experience supporting people through major life changes and coping challenges.
Background and approach
Her background includes work with grief, intimacy concerns, eating and sleeping issues, anger, low self-esteem and career stress. In sessions she adapts to each person’s needs. Conversations are practical and focused on what the person wants to change.
Claire combines talking with simple, hands-on techniques to help people learn new ways of thinking and behaving. Her work draws on approaches such as cognitive behavioural methods, acceptance and commitment ideas, attachment-focused work, dialectical behavioural skills and a client-centred way of relating. These methods are used flexibly to match the presenting concern and the client's pace.
Claire makes room for difficult feelings and practical problem solving. She helps people who are coping with chronic illness, caregiver stress, ADHD, compassion fatigue and other complex issues. The aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
Approaches that guide online work
Claire uses cognitive behavioural methods to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new responses; this approach is often used for anxiety, low mood and sleep problems. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another strand of her work and focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and values-led action rather than fighting every uncomfortable feeling. Attachment-Based Therapy informs how she understands relationship patterns and helps people shift long-standing ways of connecting.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. She talks with clients about their goals and preferences and then blends methods that fit those aims. This collaborative process helps decide whether to emphasise skills training, values work or exploring relationship patterns.
Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging to suit different needs. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier with low bandwidth or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat or messaging work well for brief check-ins, ongoing support between sessions or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving and travel.
