Claire Thomas-Davis offers calm, steady support for people feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by past events. She provides a warm, approachable presence and helps people talk through strong emotions, grief, trauma, or big life changes. Claire works with clients to develop clearer thinking and practical coping steps they can use between sessions.

Claire holds a BACP accreditation, which is listed as BACP. She has five years of experience working with concerns linked to family stress, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem and adapting to life changes.

Background and approach

Her practice also covers related issues such as abandonment, attachment difficulties, body image and communication problems. Her way of working blends attachment-based and emotionally focused ideas with client-centred listening and mindfulness. Sessions aim to make feelings easier to understand and manage, while also looking at how past relationships shape present reactions.

Somatic elements are used to notice how emotions show up in the body and to help regulate physical responses. Claire uses straightforward language and practical steps rather than jargon. She encourages small, steady changes and helps clients practise new ways of relating and coping.

Therapy is collaborative, with priorities set together so each person’s goals drive the work. Sessions are offered in English and take place online through video calls, phone, live chat or text messaging. Claire works from the United Kingdom and brings a gentle, thoughtful presence to each conversation.

How Claire’s approaches work online

Attachment-based work looks at how past relationships shape current reactions and patterns. Online sessions use conversation and reflection to identify those patterns and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more connected.

Emotionally focused ideas help people name and sit with difficult feelings so they change over time. In an online setting this often means guided dialogue, exploring feelings together and practising different responses between sessions.

Client-centred therapy places the person’s experience at the heart of the work. The therapist listens without judgement and follows the client’s pace, helping them find their own solutions rather than imposing answers.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapy. Claire will work alongside each person to choose what fits their needs, goals and preferences. That collaborative process can include reviewing how sessions are going and adapting methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face contact and visual cues; phone sessions are useful when a lower-bandwidth option is needed; live chat and text messaging work for brief check-ins or people who prefer writing. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, childcare and daily life while keeping focus on the therapeutic work.
