Claire Jones, BACP

Claire Jones helps people facing grief, anxiety, stress, low self-esteem and eating concerns. She works with those coping with big life changes and transitions, including midlife shifts. Claire writes plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for people who are unsure what to expect.

She uses a Client-Centred Therapy approach that places the person at the heart of sessions. The emphasis is on listening carefully and reflecting what comes up, so people can find their own solutions at their own pace. Claire believes clients are the experts on their own lives and works to strengthen their confidence and decision making.

Her interest in eating and food-related issues grew from research. Her dissertation focused on binge eating disorder and she has read widely on the topic. That research informs how she talks about body image, eating patterns and related shame without making assumptions.

Claire trained and practised in the United Kingdom and has three years of professional experience. She helps people work through stress, isolation, guilt and the losses that can follow life changes. Sessions aim to be straightforward and focused on practical steps as well as emotional understanding.

She encourages people to take the choice to lead their own recovery. Claire supports clients to build self-compassion, improve communication and reconnect with what matters most to them. Booking starts with a short matching questionnaire to help pair people with an appropriate therapist.

Client-centred care and online sessions

Client-Centred Therapy puts your experience at the centre of the work. The therapist listens closely, mirrors what you say and helps you notice your own strengths and choices. This approach is often chosen by people dealing with grief, anxiety, self-esteem or life transitions because it focuses on personal meaning rather than directives.

Claire's interest in eating and body image is informed by her dissertation research, and that background helps shape sensitive conversations about food, shame and self-image. Conversations aim to be humane and non-judgemental, helping people make sense of patterns and try small changes if they wish.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with the person to decide what feels most helpful based on their goals and preferences. That collaborative planning can be revisited as needs change.

Session formats are not specified in the profile, so please confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into a busy week, reduce travel time and allow check-ins without needing a long commute. They also make shorter follow-ups or daytime appointments simpler to arrange, helping therapy slot into everyday life.
