Clair Conway offers calm, straightforward support for people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression and major life changes. She writes plainly and listens closely. Clair meets each person where they are and helps them name what feels hard right now.

Clair has practised in the United Kingdom for 12 years and is listed with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. She believes the person telling their story knows it best and that small changes in perspective can make daily life easier.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on practical steps, clearer thinking and building on existing strengths. Her work commonly covers trauma and abuse, coping with loss and grief, and persistent anxiety or low mood. Clair also supports people dealing with relationship endings, caregiver stress, issues around attachment and feelings of emptiness.

She has experience helping those affected by serious illness, fertility struggles and end-of-life concerns. In therapy she uses structured talking together and goal-focused exercises to try things out between sessions. She pays attention to how values and beliefs shape choices and relationships.

The aim is to help people find manageable ways to cope and move forward. Clair encourages a steady pace and practical plans. She offers listening, challenge and encouragement so people can feel more able to face what’s next.

How evidence-based approaches work online

Clair uses a mix of practical talking and structured techniques to help people manage distress. One common approach focuses on noticing thoughts and values, then choosing small steps that match what matters most to the person; this can help with anxiety, low mood and decisions during life changes. Another approach uses structured exercises and short tasks between sessions to test new ways of thinking and behaving, which can be useful for unpicking persistent worry or low mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clair will explore goals, preferences and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together the therapist and the person choose methods that feel workable and adjust them as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging, which offer flexibility for different days and needs. Video is useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging make it easier to fit brief updates into a busy day. These options help people access therapy from different locations and at times that suit them.
