About Claire
Claire Scarlett is a counsellor working in the United Kingdom with four years of professional experience. She holds BACP accreditation, which is noted here as BACP. Claire helps people facing anxiety, stress, depression and the effects of trauma.
She also supports those dealing with family conflicts, neurodiversity and major life changes. Claire sees each person as the expert on their own story. She aims to create a calm space where people can make sense of hard moments and build on their strengths.
Background and approach
Claire uses clear, down-to-earth language and focuses on small, manageable steps that fit into everyday life. Her approach draws on attachment-based thinking to look at how relationships shape feelings and reactions. She also uses client-centred methods to follow the person’s pace, and cognitive behavioural techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviours.
Claire has a particular interest in issues often faced by LGBT people, and she is open to working with those concerns when they come up in sessions. She also offers support around parenting stresses, blended family situations, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, anger, self-esteem and career worries. Clients can expect a collaborative conversation that balances practical steps with personal reflection.
Claire encourages self-compassion and helps people discover what works best for them as they move through change.

How Claire's approaches translate to online counselling
Attachment-based work looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and responses; online sessions can be used to notice those patterns and try different ways of relating. Client-centred therapy focuses on following the person's pace and priorities, offering a respectful space for reflection that suits many online conversations. Cognitive behavioural techniques help identify unhelpful thoughts and test new actions, which can be practised between sessions and reviewed remotely.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Claire will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's needs, goals and preferences. That might mean using a more reflective approach some weeks and practical exercises in others, depending on what is helpful.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people access counsellors outside their immediate area and continue work through life changes without starting over.
