Claire Kleiner is a therapeutic counsellor who uses a client-centred approach to support people through difficult moments. She offers calm, attentive listening and helps clients discover their own solutions. Claire works from the United Kingdom and replies in English.

Her practice focuses on common and painful problems such as stress, anxiety and depression. She also helps people facing relationship strain, grief, trauma and addiction. Other concerns she supports include ADHD, sleeping difficulties, self-esteem and intimacy-related issues.

Background and approach

Claire has four years of professional experience and holds BACP accreditation. She has worked with neurodivergent people and those in the LGBT community, and adapts sessions to suit each person’s needs. Sessions are shaped around what feels most useful for the individual rather than a fixed formula.

Practical issues like parenting, career change and coping with life transitions are part of her caseload. Claire also notices patterns linked to attachment, abandonment and blended family challenges. She will talk through the everyday impact of these problems and help people plan manageable next steps.

Her style is straightforward and supportive, aimed at people who want clear, usable tools and space to reflect. Claire encourages small experiments between sessions and checks progress together. The goal is steady, achievable change that fits with each person’s life.

Client-centred therapy online and how it helps

Client-centred therapy puts the person at the centre of each session. The therapist listens without directing the conversation and helps clients name what matters most. This approach is useful for issues like anxiety, low mood, self-esteem and relationship problems because it makes room for the client’s own priorities and pace.

Sessions are tailored to the individual and Claire will work with each person to decide how to proceed. Finding the right approach is part of the work; the counsellor will discuss goals, try different ways of working and adjust based on what feels most helpful. That process is collaborative and led by the client’s needs and preferences.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging. Video is helpful when face-to-face conversation matters, phone works well if bandwidth is limited or a simple check-in is needed, and messaging suits shorter updates or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options give flexibility for fitting therapy around work, caregiving and daily life, and make it easier to keep momentum between sessions.
