About Claire
Claire Kleiner offers person-centred therapy that focuses on the person's own experience and goals. She helps people work through difficult feelings and life changes, and supports them in finding clearer ways forward. Claire works from the United Kingdom and brings four years of practice to her counselling.
Her approach puts the client at the centre of each session. That means listening closely, reflecting what is said, and helping people notice their own strengths.
Background and approach
Sessions are adapted to the things a person needs most, whether that is working through anxiety, grief, relationship concerns or identity questions. Claire has substantial experience supporting neurodivergent people and those in the LGBT community. She also supports people facing trauma, addiction, sleep problems, parenting strain, career stress and issues with self-esteem.
Her work includes help for those dealing with abandonment, attachment concerns, autism spectrum matters and long-term health challenges. In conversations she aims to create a space where people can speak openly and make practical steps. Claire focuses on what is relevant now and on small changes that make a difference over time.
She encourages people to notice progress between sessions. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to availability. Claire is a BACP member, which indicates registration with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy.
She offers sessions in English and welcomes international clients.

How Claire works online
Claire adapts the person-centred approach to each individual's needs, working collaboratively to identify goals and what feels most helpful. Deciding on an approach is part of the process, and the therapist will discuss which ways of working match the client's needs, preferences and practical circumstances.
Practical benefits of online counselling can include fitting sessions around work or family life, reducing travel time and allowing for shorter check-ins when needed. The original biography does not list specific session formats, so prospective clients should confirm which online or in-person options are available before booking. Registered or accredited professionals can use remote sessions to make therapy more accessible and easier to fit into everyday routines.
