Claire practices in the United Kingdom and has seven years of professional experience. She holds NCPS as a listed credential and adapts each session to the person in front of her. Sessions are shaped around the client’s goals and what feels most useful in the moment.

Her approach combines talking and active skills work. Claire draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to look at thoughts and behaviours and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people orient around meaningful values. She also uses attachment-based ideas to understand relationship patterns and client-centred listening to keep the conversation focused on the client’s experience.

In sessions Claire aims for a calm, respectful tone and clear practical suggestions. She helps people build small, workable changes that fit into everyday life. Her style is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.

People come to Claire for a wide range of concerns, including addiction and intimacy-related issues. She invites clients to take the next step by completing a brief questionnaire and arranging a time to meet.

How Claire’s approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then choose actions that match their values. It is often useful when life feels stuck or when people want to focus on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings and behaviour and teaches practical skills for changing unhelpful patterns. It is commonly used for anxiety, low mood and stress. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationship patterns shape current ways of relating and can be helpful for intimacy and trust issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Claire will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and choose methods together. That collaborative process tests what helps and adapts as needs change over time.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so please confirm available formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins or sessions that fit a lunch break. It can also help when someone prefers not to be on camera or needs to manage bandwidth, since different formats can be used to suit circumstances. Registered or accredited professionals and therapists commonly offer online options that aim to match the practical needs of daily life while keeping the focus on meaningful change.
