About Claire
Claire works in a warm, non-judgemental way. She says people need acceptance and love to feel safe enough to talk. Sessions focus on listening first, then working together to spot patterns that keep causing pain.
Her main approach is client-centred therapy, which means the person in the room leads the pace and content. Claire adapts sessions by drawing on other methods when that will help meet someone’s goals. She emphasises discussion, negotiation and regular review of progress.
Over four years she has worked in both agency settings and independent practice. Her background includes voluntary work with young people experiencing homelessness and placements in colleges during training. When a person needs specialist support beyond her scope, she will help find suitable referrals and signposting.
Claire also has experience supporting people coping with issues linked to faith and spirituality from her perspective as a born again Christian. She helps people who want self-development work as well as those needing support through loss, trauma or repeating emotional patterns. Her way of working aims to help clients notice triggers, shift perspectives and make practical changes.

How client-centred work fits with online therapy
Client-centred therapy places the person's experience at the heart of the session and begins with careful listening. It helps people feel heard, build insight and decide what change they want to make. This approach is well suited to issues such as relationship difficulties, grief and low mood where being listened to is central.Claire tailors what she offers by combining client-centred work with other helpful methods when needed. She treats finding the right approach as a collaborative process and will work together with each person to choose what feels most useful for their aims and situation.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time and allowing appointments around work or caring responsibilities. If you want to know which session formats Claire currently offers, please confirm available options before booking so you can choose what best matches your needs and daily routine.
