About Claire
Counsellor Claire Jones is a BACP and NCPS member with five years' experience working with stress, anxiety, relationship issues, self-esteem and depression. She works in the United Kingdom and lists a broad range of concerns she helps people with, including addiction, trauma, grief, ADHD and parenting-related strain.
Claire uses an integrative approach, combining ideas from different evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She focuses on straightforward practical tools as well as talking through feelings. Sessions are described as down to earth and non-judgemental, with an emphasis on helping people build self-awareness and self-acceptance.
Her background in the corporate world influences her practice. She brings experience of workplace pressures and practical strategies for managing stress and improving day-to-day functioning. This makes her familiar with issues such as midlife career questions, financial stress, and work-related compassion fatigue.
Claire also lists a wide range of additional concerns, such as blended family issues, chronic illness and disability, infidelity, OCD and panic attacks. She notes support for matters of intimacy, sexuality and LGBT-related concerns, as well as problems around communication and commitment.
Practical tools are part of how she works, alongside talking. Claire aims to help people develop coping skills they can use after counselling ends. The first section of work often clarifies the most pressing issues and sets simple goals to make life more manageable.
How her therapeutic approaches work online
Claire names an integrative approach, which means she draws on more than one evidence-based technique to suit what a person needs. Integrative work often blends talking therapy with practical exercises and coping strategies to manage stress, anxiety or low mood.Humanistic elements appear in her description, which focus on listening and treating the person as the expert on their own life. That style supports conversations about identity, relationships and self-esteem and helps people make sense of their feelings and choices.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client, and together they will decide what feels most useful for the client’s goals and preferences. This is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
The practical benefits of remote counselling are about fitting therapy into everyday life. Confirm the exact session formats before booking, as options are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around work or family commitments and avoid travel. They can also allow shorter check-ins when that suits a client’s schedule, and offer different ways to work without needing to be in the same room as the counsellor.
