About Claire
Claire Kleiner is a counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to help people through anxiety, stress and life transitions. She works in a way that puts the person's experience at the heart of sessions. Claire aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable and clear.
She has four years of practice in the United Kingdom and uses person-centred conversations to help people process difficult experiences. That includes work on grief, depression, trauma and abuse, and problems with sleep or addictions.
Background and approach
Claire also supports people with relationship and intimacy concerns along with career and self-esteem struggles. Claire has experience with neurodivergent clients and with people from the LGBT community. She adapts sessions to meet individual needs and preferences rather than following a fixed script.
This means sessions can focus on practical coping skills or on gentle exploration of past hurts, depending on what the person needs. People often come to Claire for help with attachment and abandonment worries, blended family or parenting strain, and the emotional effects of illness or caregiving. She also works with issues such as ADHD, body image and communication problems.
Sessions aim to be a steady space to talk things through and to try small, useful changes. Claire holds membership of the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She offers sessions in English and accepts international clients, using video calls, phone sessions, live chat or text-based messaging.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and book a time that suits them.
Client-centred care delivered online
Claire uses client-centred therapy, which focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the person. This approach helps people clarify their feelings, build self-understanding and find their own solutions for issues like anxiety, stress and relationship concerns.The emphasis is on the person's perspective rather than on giving advice. The therapist works with each person to adapt session pace and focus. That collaborative approach helps when dealing with trauma, grief, parenting strains or challenges linked to neurodivergence.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversational work when visual cues help. Phone sessions can fit into a shorter break or need less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, reflective writing or when someone prefers not to use audio or video.
Finding the right way of working is part of the process and Claire will help decide what fits best. She and the person check progress and adjust the approach, formats and goals together to match needs, preferences and practical constraints.
