Background and approach
Claire often helps people affected by relational abuse and the long shadow that can leave, but she also supports a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, grief, addictions and self-esteem. She lists extra focus areas including attachment issues, body image, caregiving stress and divorce-related difficulties. In sessions she offers time to talk things through without pressure.
The aim is to help people notice patterns, find choices and build coping ways that fit their life. Mindfulness techniques may be used to help with stress and grounding when thoughts or emotions feel overwhelming. Claire also supervises other counsellors and has authored the Rainbow Therapy Tools guides.
Her background means she can offer practical, steady support for people sorting through difficult emotions or big life changes. She works in the United Kingdom and runs sessions in English. People can expect plain language, patience and a focus on what matters most to them as they decide what steps feel right.

Approaches Claire lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each counsellor names and does not check training records.
How Claire works online
She also uses mindfulness techniques to bring attention to the present moment. Simple breathing and grounding exercises can reduce reactivity and calm overwhelming thoughts, which can help with anxiety, stress and emotional regulation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Claire collaborates with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful. She will check in about what is working and adjust the way she supports you based on your needs, goals and preferences.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the current session formats before booking since the biography does not list them. Online therapy can make it easier to fit regular sessions into a busy life, save travel time and allow people to meet with a counsellor from different locations. It can also let some people choose shorter check-ins, avoid being on camera when they prefer, or pick quieter times that fit around work and family commitments.
