About Claire
Counsellor Claire Wilson is registered with NCPS and has four years of experience working in the United Kingdom. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting, self-esteem and depression. Claire also works with people facing life changes, ADHD and coaching needs.
Claire uses straightforward conversation to help people name what feels wrong. She will listen to how thoughts, feelings and behaviour link together. Sessions include looking at unhelpful thinking patterns and everyday coping skills. Claire pays attention to attachment and how early relationships affect current behaviour.
Her background includes work with trauma, including interpersonal trauma and domestic abuse, and with people managing chronic illness and chronic pain. She helps clients look at emotional regulation, patterns of relating, and beliefs that keep difficulties going. Motivational interviewing and narrative methods are part of how she helps people weigh change and create alternative stories about themselves.
Claire uses cognitive behavioural ideas alongside client-centred and attachment-based ways of working. That mix can suit people who want both practical steps and a chance to reflect on their past. Sessions aim to build clearer thinking and more reliable coping skills for day-to-day life.
She offers counselling in English to people in the United Kingdom. International clients are not currently accepted. To start, a short matching questionnaire is used before arranging a first session.
How Claire uses therapeutic approaches online
Claire works from a mix of client-centred practice, cognitive behavioural methods and attachment-based thinking. Client-centred counselling means the counsellor listens without directing, helping people make sense of their feelings and decide what to try next. Cognitive behavioural work looks at thoughts and behaviours and introduces practical steps for changing patterns such as anxiety, low mood or unhelpful coping. Attachment-based therapy examines how early relationships shape current ways of connecting and can help with intimacy, trust and communication issues.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will discuss your aims, preferences and what has helped or not helped before. Together you will decide which methods to try and change them if needed. That collaborative way helps match practical tools to deeper reflection when appropriate.
The site notes session formats in the therapist's profile. If session formats are not specified there, confirm the current options before booking. Online counselling can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also suit people who prefer not to be on camera or who need a quieter setting without leaving work for a longer appointment.
