About

About Claire

Claire Reynolds offers a calm, respectful space for people who are feeling overwhelmed or stuck. She welcomes conversations about anxiety, stress, relationship and family worries, addiction, self‑esteem, grief and a wide range of other concerns. Claire aims to help people find clearer ways forward at a pace that suits them.

She uses a person-centred approach that keeps the client’s experience at the centre of each session. That means listening closely, following what matters most to the individual, and helping them make choices that feel right for their life.

Background and approach

Claire also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help with unhelpful thinking and practical coping strategies. Claire has four years of professional experience and is registered with the British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy, BACP. Her background includes supporting people with parenting pressures, intimacy-related issues, trauma, addiction, ADHD and life changes including bereavement and serious illness.

She works with people who identify as LGBT among other concerns. Sessions are tailored to each person’s needs and values. The initial conversations focus on what the person wants to change and what strengths they already have.

Subsequent sessions blend listening, gentle challenge and practical tools to build resilience and manage day-to-day stressors. Claire aims to make therapy straightforward and useful. She encourages small, achievable steps and reviews progress regularly.

If you want a clear, down-to-earth approach that respects your pace, she may be a good person to contact.

Online support

How Claire uses person‑centred and CBT approaches online

Claire’s person-centred approach means sessions focus on the person’s own story and priorities. The therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears and helps people decide what matters most to work on. This approach suits people who want a respectful, paced conversation about difficult feelings.

Cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, provides practical tools to change unhelpful thinking and behaviour patterns. Claire might use simple exercises to spot negative thoughts, test them and build small behavioural steps that reduce anxiety or improve sleep and mood.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Claire will collaborate with each person to decide whether more listening and reflection, CBT techniques, or a blend of both is the best fit based on their goals and preferences.

The practical benefits of online therapy include easier fitting of sessions into everyday routines and fewer travel demands. This can make it simpler to keep appointments around work or caring responsibilities and to maintain momentum between meetings. The original biography does not specify which online or in‑person session formats are offered, so confirm current options before booking. Registered and accredited professionals and therapists commonly use different formats to meet people’s needs, and Claire will work with you to find an arrangement that fits your life.
