Background and approach

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which looks at links between thoughts, feelings and actions to try out different ways of coping. Across four years of practice Claire has supported people with relationship and family difficulties, parenting stress, self-esteem concerns and grief. She also works with issues such as addiction, intimacy problems, sleeping and eating difficulties, anger and career transitions.

Complex topics like trauma, bipolar difficulties and compassion fatigue are included in her work when they arise. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging. Claire works collaboratively to set goals and choose approaches that match each person's needs.

Fees vary by location and are organised through a subscription that can be cancelled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and appointments are scheduled according to the therapist's availability. Sessions are conducted in English for people living in the United Kingdom.

How Claire uses person-centred work and CBT online

Claire uses client-centred work to prioritise what each person brings to a session. That approach means the counsellor listens carefully, follows the person's lead, and helps them clarify what they want to change. It is useful for people who need space to tell their story and feel heard.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioural Therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and test small behavioural experiments. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, sleep and mood-related concerns because it gives practical steps to try between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire treats the choice of methods as a collaborative process and will discuss goals, preferences and what feels most useful. Together the counsellor and client decide which techniques to keep, adapt or pause as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging to provide flexible options. Video calls suit conversations that benefit from visual cues, phone sessions work well for those with lower bandwidth, live chat allows brief check-ins, and messaging can fit around busy schedules. These formats make it easier to book appointments, reduce travel time and allow people to work on issues from different locations.
