About Claire
Claire uses an integrative approach, with a base in person-centred ways of working. She blends elements of psychodynamic thinking, Gestalt, cognitive behavioural techniques and solution-focused work to meet each person where they are. This mix lets her adapt to short-term goals or longer-term themes.
Over four years she has worked in an employee assistance programme providing short-term support to people with varied difficulties. Alongside that, she has spent three years supporting neurodiverse university students, including medium to long-term work when needed. Those roles have given her experience with both brief interventions and ongoing therapy.
She helps people talk through grief and loss, including pet bereavement, and addresses family conflict, communication problems and issues around commitment and abandonment. She also supports people struggling with self-esteem, motivation, isolation and jealousy.
Claire aims to make sessions collaborative. She offers a calm space and a consistent, empathic approach that focuses on what a person wants to change. To begin, she asks people to describe their priorities so they can agree clear, practical steps together.

How evidence-based techniques work in online counselling
Claire combines a person-centred base with practical, evidence-based approaches. Cognitive behavioural techniques help people spot unhelpful thinking and try different behaviours to reduce anxiety and stress. Psychodynamic ideas focus on repeated patterns and how past relationships can shape current reactions, helpful for understanding attachment and family-of-origin issues.Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, past experience and what feels most helpful. Together they agree on steps and review progress as work proceeds so the approach can change when needed.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into daily life, for example by removing travel time or allowing a quieter check-in during a lunch break. If you want to use online sessions, confirm the exact formats available before booking so you know how appointments are arranged. Registered or accredited professionals can adapt treatments used in face-to-face work to remote formats while focusing on practical outcomes and accessibility.
