Her background includes seven years of client work in the United Kingdom and registration with the National Counselling & Psychotherapy Society, NCPS. Claire draws on a mix of approaches including DBT skills, client-centred listening and CBT techniques when these suit the presenting issue. She aims to help clients try small, practical changes between sessions.
Claire commonly works with people facing grief, addiction, relationship strain, eating or sleeping problems, anger, self-esteem concerns, ADHD and career stress. She also has experience with long-term health issues, caregiver stress and responses to trauma. Discussions may cover feelings, behaviour patterns and coping strategies relevant to those topics.

How her therapeutic approaches work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and make space for what matters to them. It is often used for anxiety, low mood and coping with life changes by focusing on values and small actions. Cognitive Behavioural Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical techniques to break unhelpful cycles. It is commonly chosen for anxiety, low mood, sleep and some relationship difficulties.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will discuss which methods match a person's needs, goals and preferences. She treats the choice as a collaboration and will review progress to adjust the plan where needed.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm options before booking. Many people find online counselling fits into busy lives by removing travel time and making it easier to fit a session around work or caring commitments. Online sessions can allow shorter check-ins, make it easier to use written or visual exercises during a meeting, and help people keep continuity of care if they move or travel. Registered professionals and therapists commonly discuss practical arrangements and any technical needs when scheduling the first appointment.
