About Clair
Counsellor Clair Fulton is a BACP and NCPS registered practitioner based in the United Kingdom with five years' experience. She works with adults on issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief and relationship problems. Sessions can cover concerns linked to identity, addiction, parenting and life changes including midlife transitions and career stresses.
Clair uses a client-centred approach that prioritises what each person brings to the room. She also draws on cognitive behavioural techniques to help identify patterns of thinking and behaviour that make problems worse. She combines these ways of working rather than relying on a single method.
Her background includes several years supporting children and young people in residential and foster care and work with care leavers. She has experience in education settings offering counselling to 11–25 year olds and has worked with staff in the health and social care sector.
Clair also works with adult students and people in the LGBT community, and with those facing attachment issues, trauma, body image concerns and fertility or family problems. She lists additional focus areas such as self-harm, anger, isolation, and coping after natural or human-caused disasters.
She describes herself as able to work face-to-face and remotely by video, telephone and live chat and currently works on a self-employed basis with adult clients. To begin, she asks people to use the site's matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session through the platform.
How Clair uses client-centred work and CBT online
Clair draws on client-centred therapy which focuses on the person's perspective. This approach involves listening without judgement and reflecting what someone says so they can find their own direction. It suits people who want space to talk through feelings and make their own choices.She also uses cognitive behavioural therapy, or CBT, to look at thoughts and behaviours that keep problems going. CBT involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new ways of reacting. This method can help with anxiety, low mood, sleep and some relationship patterns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Clair will discuss options with each person and decide together what to try first based on needs, goals and preferences. She adapts her way of working over time if something is not helpful.
Her profile notes experience with video calls, telephone and live chat, but readers should confirm which formats are available when they book. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counselling into daily life, reduce travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Registered or accredited professionals can offer effective support through these routes, and Clair will help align practical arrangements with what a person wants to achieve.
