Claire practises in the United Kingdom and holds BACP registration, which recognises her professional standing.

Background and approach

She has seven years of experience and has worked in community outreach, online, and by phone. Her background includes psychosexual and intimate partner work and foundation-level training around infertility issues. Her style is warm and straightforward.

She aims to build a non-judgemental space where clients can speak openly and begin to understand what drives their thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical steps as well as making sense of past experiences that still affect daily life. Claire uses relationship-focused and attachment ideas alongside client-centred listening.

Mindfulness is brought in where helpful to manage anxiety and mood symptoms. She also uses tools from the Gottman Method and Imago approaches when relationship patterns are a central concern. Sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging, giving options for different needs and rhythms of life.

Messaging is typically responded to within 24 hours on weekdays and availability is reviewed twice weekly. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Claire's Approaches Work Online

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the patterns people form in close relationships. Online sessions can help identify repeated dynamics from the past and try new ways of connecting with others. Client-Centred Therapy puts the person's experience at the heart of the work; the therapist listens closely and helps people find their own solutions, which suits many issues like anxiety, depression and self-esteem.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Claire will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and together decide which methods make the most sense. This is a collaborative process where approaches can be mixed and adjusted as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text messaging. Video gives face-to-face interaction for deeper conversations, phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed, and messaging can suit quick updates or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy around work, care duties and daily life while keeping the therapeutic work consistent and focused.
